[Verse:]
|
Monkeys upon a tree never are very blue
|
They never seem to be under par that is true
|
Not like the ones you see on a bar in the zoo
|
Monkeys upon a tree do the Monkey Doodle Doo
|
|
[Refrain:]
|
Oh, among the mangoes where the monkey gang goes
|
You can see them do
|
The little Monkey Doodle Doo
|
|
Oh, a little monkey playing on his one key
|
Gives them all the cue
|
To do the Monkey Doodle Doo
|
|
Let me take you by the hand
|
Over to the jungle band
|
If you're too old for dancing
|
Get yourself a monkey gland
|
And then let's
|
|
Go, my little dearie, there's the Darwin theory
|
Telling me and you
|
To do the Monkey Doodle Doo
|
|

The Monkey Doodle Doo!
