[1st verse:]
|
Down in a sunny jungle town
|
Where the monkeys run around
|
Lived a crazy little monkey who loved to sing
|
A chimpanzee in a cocoanutty tree
|
Heard his nutty melody, she
|
Fell in love with his singing
|
From the branches a-clinging
|
She'd pitch her voice in a monkey key
|
And yell with all her might
|
|
[Refrain:]
|
Sing that monkey tune
|
You monkey loon
|
Don't dare to stop, hurry up, hurry up
|
I want to hear that strain so queer
|
Because I'm crazy about that monkey tune
|
|
[2nd verse:]
|
She kept a-shouting from the tree
|
For his nutty melody
|
Till the crazy little monkey looked up and said
|
"I want to spoon 'neath the monkey honey moon
|
To the nutty wedding tune, soon"
|
Mister and Missus Monkey
|
Pitched their voices in one key
|
And now they can't get a wink of sleep
|
The baby yells all night
|
