Now it looks like a dog and it ain't no cat

I'm just wondering what the world is that?



Is that a monkey you got? Is that a monkey you've got?

Is that some monkey you got, honey, he's the ugliest thing in town



Now he's red and he's black and his feet is brown

He's the worst looking thing that walks on the ground



Is that a monkey you got? Is that a monkey you've got?

Is that some monkey you got, honey, he's the ugliest thing in town



Now you told me about your monkey and I don't see why you did

When I come to your house you always got him hid



Is that a monkey you got? Is that a monkey you've got?

Is that some monkey you got, honey, he's the ugliest thing in town



Now you keep him hidden and in the house

You must think he'll cause trouble if you let him go out



Is that a monkey you got? Is that a monkey you've got?

Is that some monkey you got, honey, he's the ugliest thing in town
