Verse 1
G 
Ladies and gentlemen,
here we are at Cape Canaveral
to witness the launching of the capsule containing Ham,
the little chimpanzee.
But first, we'd like to tell you
C 
Am 
D 
something about him.
G 
C 
They took him from the jungle
D 
G 
and they brought him here
Bm 
G 
Just to take a ride up through
C 
the stratosphere
F 
Well, he's about the smallest
C 
D 
G 
little chimpanzee
Bm 
G 
He imitates and tries to talk
C 
like you and me
Am 
C 
Am 
Whoop ba  whoop whoop ba
C 
G 
whoop hoop hoop ba whoop hoop
C 
Of course all this to him
G 
was just a mystery
D 
G 
They told him someday
C 
he'd go down in history
Well he was such an actor
D 
G 
so they called him Ham
He was gonna take the
C 
risk instead of man
Am 
C 
Whoop whoop ba
whoop whoop ba
Am 
whoop hoop hop
C 
Am 
Now look you guys,
I want five hundred bananas
C 
for this job, see bah
Am 
C 
They put him in a capsule
D 
G 
like a rocket ship,
Bm 
G 
he didn't mind at all,
C 
he just enjoyed the trip.
Sailing through the air
G 
with the greatest of ease,
he never traveled faster through
C 
G 
C 
no jungle trees.
Am 
C 
Am 
To tell the truth, I'm frightened.
C 
G 
A real proud American from outer space,
C 
he surely is a credit to the monkey race.
The moral of the story you
D 
can plainly see,
G 
some humans ain't as
C 
smart as a chimpanzee.
G 
Ladies and gentlemen,
C 
the capsule has now safely
returned to Earth.
G 
C 
In a moment we will hear the voice
of the first monkey to conquer space.
G 
C 
And here he is now.
How about a few words,
C 
Am 
C 
Am 
C 
Ham?
Am 
Well, really, darling,
C 
Am 
it's been a most tiring trip.
C 
I think I'll go to my room now and rest.
Am

You
