[Verse 1]
He came out cool
In a storm of green
Big black shoulders
Shining like a dream
He slapped two sticks
On a glowing rack
The whole tree shook
When he hit it back
Banana peel grin
And a wild-eyed stare
He bowed to the crowd
Like he owned the air
[Pre-Chorus]
One foot, two foot
Stomp that ground
The leaves went crazy
All around
He raised those arms
Then hit that switch
And the whole damn jungle
Started to twitch
[Chorus]
Banana beat riot
Banana beat riot
Gorilla got the room
Goin' banana beat riot
Banana beat riot
Banana beat riot
He hit one note
And the moon said "rock it" (rock it)
[Verse 2]
He wore no shoes
Just a silver chain
Every tiny crash
Made the rain come down
Monkeys on the branch
Did the backup yell
(ooo-ooo-ooo)
Like a broken carnival bell
He rolled those fills
Like a thunder roll
Then flashed a grin
With a mouthful of gold
He played so hard
That the vines let go
And the whole wild block
Started moving low
[Pre-Chorus]
One foot, two foot
Stomp that ground
The leaves went crazy
All around
He raised those arms
Then hit that switch
And the whole damn jungle
Started to twitch
[Chorus]
Banana beat riot
Banana beat riot
Gorilla got the room
Goin' banana beat riot
Banana beat riot
Banana beat riot
He hit one note
And the moon said "rock it" (rock it)
[Bridge]
[Breakdown]
Now hush-hush hush
Then boom-boom boom
He made a drumline
Out the whole damn room
Tail swipe left
Chest thump right
Even the frogs got loose
By the edge of night
Then one big grin
One last crash
And every coconut
Did a little dance (dance, dance)
[Final Chorus]
Banana beat riot
Banana beat riot
Gorilla got the room
Goin' banana beat riot
Banana beat riot
Banana beat riot
He hit one note
And the moon said "rock it" (rock it)
Banana beat riot
Banana beat riot
Whole wild world
In a banana beat riot
