Monkey Banana Lyrics

La la la la la la la la la
La la for me (La la la la la la la)
La la la la la la la la la! (La la la la la la la)
Fool for forty na fool forever (La la la la la la la)
Na so the book people dey talk (La la la la la la la)

Fool for forty na fool forever (La la la la la la la)
Na so the book people dey talk (La la la la la la la)

I no go tell my brother like that (La la la la la la la)
You tell am realize you be fool at twenty (La la la la la la la)

I no go tell my brother like that (La la la la la la la)
You tell am realize you be fool at twenty (La la la la la la la)

Book sense different from belly sense (La la la la la la la)
Fool na fool no matter for age (La la la la la la la)
Fifteen to thirty, forty to hundred (La la la la la la la)
Fool na fool no matter for age (La la la la la la la)

They run-run about everywhere
They jump-jump about the place
Na carry for morning, day and night
I no sing happy monkey for you
I no say I be fool for you

Okay, I agree, I don vex me to hear! (Okay)
Okay (Agree)

Okay, I agree, I don vex me to hear

Before I jump like monkey, give me banana
Make you hear, yes sir
Give me banana (Yes sir)
Give me banana (Yes sir)

Yes sir! Yes sir! Yes sir! Yes sir!
Yes sir! Yes sir! Yes sir! Yes sir!
Yes sir! Yes sir! Yes sir! Yes sir!
