D
Big and I'm bad
       A
And I want you to know
D
I hang around
           A
Where the grass is greener
D
Totally naked, baby
A
Totally nude
D
'Cause if I want to
A
Who's gonna stop me?

D   A           D
I'm absolutely free
A               D
Living in the trees
     A             D
The birds and the bees

       A
'Cause I'm a nature boy
D         A
Locked up inside
D                   A
You can't tell me where it's at
D                 A
Open up, open up, open the door
D                     A
Rocks and trees and physical culture
D             A
Some days you hide

Chorus:
D                    A
I guess you wonder where you are
D                        A
Nature boy, nature man, take me along
D                    A
We got a life that's undiscovered

And we threw it all away
Throw it all away
Rolling every way
It's irresponsible
So civilized

Chorus:
I guess you wonder where you are
Nature boy, nature man, take me along
Deep in the woods we're undiscovered

I'm a little fish and you're the river
Living in a boat that's underwater
We can tip, tip, tip it over
You can push, push, make it better now
Wake your daddy up
It's a quarter to five
Our little boat
Has lost its rudder
Dive to the bottom
And we never come up
A polka party
For Bob and Martha
I'm absolutely free
Living in the trees
The birdies and the bees

'Cause I'm a nature boy
Think what you like
This is really where it's at
Open up, open up, open the door
We don't need clothes and we don't need money
So civilized

Chorus:
I guess you wonder where you are
Nature boy, nature man, take me along
Deep in the woods we're undiscovered
