[Verse 1]
Well, I heard they castrated Castro
I heard they cut off everything he had
What a dirty lowdown thing to do
To mess him up like that
They dumped him in a jungle
In the land of the sugarcane
Ever since the day they fiddled around
I said he ain’t never been the same

[Refrain]
I say oooh-la
I say oooh-la
I say oooh-la

[Verse 2]
Well, I heard they castrated Castro
Because he was the people’s friend
They told him once and they told him twice
Said, "I ain’t gonna tell you again"
They put a bit of pressure on him
That’s when he told them what they could do
So the word came down from a northern town
"Set up a jungle rendezvous"

[Refrain]
I say oooh-la
I say oooh-la
We say oooh-la
[Chorus]
He had been livin’ in a different world
Then he was nutted by reality
He had been living in another tree
Then he flew down to see what happened

[Verse 3]
I went out to see my sister, she was not in
So I went and bought a paper, then I returned
She was well into the racing on the TV
She has never been that fond of me
I went and turned her over

[Chorus]
See I’d been livin’ in a different world
Then I was nutted by reality
I had been living in another tree
Then I flew down to see what happens

[Verse 4]
I was listening to an echo, I was impressed
Even though I couldn’t see it, it was the most
I was jumping and a gleeing at every one
I was speaking in a foreign tongue
My pleasure gave no pleasure
[Chorus]
See I’d been livin’ in a different world
Then I was nutted by reality
I had been barking up another tree
Then I flew down to see what happened
