The Llama song is a 3 bar blues variation in E minor, and appears twice in the episode "The Llama Incident", both times during llama stampedes from the eponymous Llama Incident. The episode splits the song in two variations, a regular one and a reprise.
Another, much shorter variation, themed after woodpeckers instead of llamas, is played at the end of the episode, when the gang reminisces about the "woodpecker incident".

Llama-llama, llama-llama-llama
Llama-llama, llama-llama-llama
Llama-llama, llama-llama-llama
Llama-llama, llama-llama-llama
Llaaa-ma, llaaa-ma
Llaaaamaaa
Llaaa-ma, llaaa-ma
Llaaaamaaa
Llama-llama-llama-llama-llama-llama-llama-llama
Here's a llama, there's a llama
And another llama over there
We've got llamas to spare
There's a baby llama
And a papa and a mama llama
In a llama melodrama
Better beware!
Como se llama, llama?
What's the trauma?
Oh llama, you're the bomb-a
And you're blowing up, you're everywhere!
A formal looking llama
Is he on his way to prom-a?
It's hard to remain calm-a
When you're overrun by llamas!
Llama-llama-llama-llama-llama-llama-llama-llama
Hey llama, you're the bomb-a
And you're blowing up, you're everywhere!
Llaaa-ma, llaaa-ma
Llaaaamaaa
Llaaa-ma, llaaa-ma
Llaaaamaaa
Llama-llama, llama-llama-llama
Llama-llama, llama-llama-llama
(Llama, you're the bomb-a)
(And you're blowing up, you're everywhere!)
There's one thing I can promise
I've been all across this nation
Never seen so many llamas
So here's my punctuation
It's:
Llama, comma, llama, comma
Llama, comma, llama, comma
Llama, comma, llama, oxford comma
And llama
Llaaa-ma, llaaa-ma
Llaaaamaaa
Llaaa-ma, llaaa-ma
Llaaaamaaa
Llama-llama-llama-llama-llama-llama-llama-llama
Llama.

Guitar chords[]
Note that the information and chord chart below were created by an editor.
If you find an error you may correct it or post a message to the editor who
uploaded the chart on their message board and it will be addressed.
Due to the way wikis display text it is necessary to convert chord charts to an image so the chords will line up above the text where the chords occur.
These images often display poorly on wiki pages.
If you open the image, choose "See full size image" and then save it to your computer, you can print the chart. It will print at a much higher resolution than what appears here.
This is a good exercise for a beginner. The timing of the chord changes are straight forward, the lyrics are easy to remember and the chord progression is a great exercise for both strength and dexterity. It can be played over and over without a break between the end and beginning.
