Dr. Orangutan from Care Package by The Sitters And The Makers

Hey did you hear the news
He's coming in to town
He'll take that frown
And turn it right round
Upside down
Why don't you meet and greet
Two-thirty-three down Glasgow Street
He'll be the monkey in the trunky of the junky old Oldsmobile

He's got his bag of tricks
His lollipops and slapping sticks
His tongue anti-depressor's got you up
Some say he'll never think
Pharmaceutical notes in invisible ink
And when he smiles stare a while you might see behind the tooth

Doctor Orangutan
Has cured away all of your blues
He's got paper slips
With clever quips
And a step to put in your shoes
Doctor Orangutan
Didja hear the news
He got his PhD
In comedy
At the Central Park Zoo

Doctor Orangutan
Can't take away his name
He's skipping rope
With stethoscopes
But can he feel the rain
Outlooks reset respect
His honesty becomes regret
Though he may well be society
He's still not human yet

Doctor Orangutan
Has cured away all of your blues
His banana peel
Will make you squeal
In his 9 and a half foot shoes
Doctor Orangutan
Can he sing the blues?
He got his doctorate in
Dark chocolate
At the N Y C Z U

Doctor Orangutan
Tastes sweetness on his tongue
Despite his woes,
his friends won't know
He feels beyond the sun
Doctor Orangutan
You'll never see him frown
He learned to hold his fellow primate up
Out of spite for feeling down

Doctor Orangutan
Has cured away all of your blues
He's got paper slips
With clever quips
And a step to put in your shoes
Doctor Orangutan
Didja hear the news

He got his undergrad
In being glad
On the 472

He got his doctorate in
Dark chocolate
At the N Y C Z U

He got his PhD
In comedy
At the Central Park Zoo
