I'm Mickey the Monkey, the pride of the zoo
I make people happy with tricks that I do
I swing through the air with the greatest of ease
Just like the man on the flying trapeze
I hang by my tail, all the children to please
Grown-ups enjoy watching me catching fleas
While you're watching me I am watching you, too
You're as funny to me as I am to you
I'm Mickey the Monkey, the pride of the zoo
(Step right up, step right up and see the old animal show starring Mickey the Monkey!)
