stevesongs - orangutan van lyrics

[verse 1]
this is the story of dan
he drives an orangutan van
all day in orangutan land
givin’ rides to the orangutans

[pre+chorus]
how many orangutans live in this land?
ten thousand orangutans
how many orangutans can fit in this van?
only eleven orangutans

[chorus]
his name is dan, he drives a van
givin’ rides to orangutans
all day long in orangutan land
when they call dan’s orangutan van
(and banana transit)

[verse 2]
one day, dan’s phone rang (brrring brrring)
it was an orangutan who sang
hey, this is swingin’ stan and his orangutan band (hi, dan!)
can we ride with you into town?
we’re playing the treetop club but our car broken down
dan said, “i’ll help ya if i can. let’s look at the seating plan.”
[pre+chorus]
“only eleven orangutans can ride in my van”
“only eleven orangutans??”
“how many orangutans are in your band?”
“uhh, one, two, three, four!”

[chorus]
“say no more, if you’ve got four
you’re gonna get to the show for sure
and i’ll still have room for … how many more?
let’s see, eleven minus four equals… (seven!)
room for seven more orangutans
in the orangutan van”
(and banana transit)
all right! here we go!

[verse 3]
just as the light turned green (brrring brrring)
a call came in from the olympic banana hop team
dan said, “hey, i saw the game. you were down by fifteen banana hops, but then you came back and you won it in overtime. it was awesome!”
“thanks, dan. hey, can we get a ride?
we wanna go to the dance at the treetop club tonight”

[pre+chorus]
dan said. “i’ve got room for seven more orangutans”
“only seven orangutans?”
“how many of you are going to the dance?”
“one, two, three”
[chorus]
“well if you have three, it’s plain to see
you can all ride to the club with me
and i’ll still have room for how many?
oh what’s what, seven minus three is uhh … (four!)
room for four more orangutans
in the orangutan van”

[interlude]
(brring, brring)
“dan’s orangutan van. two reporters and one cameraman from animal planet? sure thing, i’ve got room for three.”
(brring, brring)
“dan’s orangutan van. one delivery man from the banana cafe? yeah, you get the last seat, buddy. plus ten trays of flanana+flavored flan? i’m actually kind of full right now. oh, i mean the van’s kinda full with orangutans. you think you’re having a crazy day? hey, keep your head and feet inside the van, please! huh, i’m surrounded by monkeys here. no! give me that headset back! no, he did not mean that. ok, all right, i’ll come pick up your flan. sorry, flahn. i’ll see you in a flahsh, a flash. i’ll be right there.”

[bridge]
the treetop club was jumpin’
the band was outta sight
swingin’ stan was really somethin’
up there beneath the lights
the banana hop team was hoppin’
and the flan was tastin’ fly
orangutans from across the land
were swingin’ in on the vine … yeah!

[verse 4]
just after this episode
stan wrote a hit! (yes!) and the band hit the road
dan? of course offered to drive the crew
and the banana hop team is comin’, too!
you might not be surprised to hear
that the song that topped the charts that year
was none other than
“dan’s orangutan van”!
[pre+chorus]
how many orangutans can ride in that van?
only eleven orangutans
how many orangutans are fans of this band?
all the other orangutans (you know it)

wow, that’s a lot. ten thousand minus eleven… that gives you nine thousand, nine hundred, and uhhh
too many orangutans!
too many orangutans

[chorus]
that’s the story of my friend dan
who hangs around with orangutans
all day in orangutan land
and the orangutan band
(please don’t forget about the bananas)
dan’s orangutan van
(and banana, banana, banana, banana) banana transit
