[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



[chorus:]

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
