Monkey See Monkey Do

[Chorus]
Monkey see (monkey see)
Monkey do (monkey do)
Be careful how you act
'cause the little ones are watching you

[Verse 1]
Newborn babies come into this world
With a clean and an innocent mind
But it don't take long to pollute them
In the mixed-up world they find
We tell them not to lie and cheat
We teach them the golden rule
And then we lie and drink and cuss
And act like silly fools

[Chorus]
Monkey see (monkey see)
And monkey do (monkey do)
Be careful how you act
'cause the little ones are watching you

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
No wonder the young ones are all mixed-up
And searching for better things
And it's no wonder they drop out
When they see our tarnished wings
We give them the Great Commandment
"Thou shall not kill anyone"
Then just as soon as they grow up
We put 'em behind the gun

[Chorus]
Monkey see (monkey see)
Monkey do (monkey do)
Ah, be careful how you act
'cause the little ones are watching you

[Outro Chorus]
Monkey see (monkey see)
Monkey do (monkey do)
Be careful how you act
'cause the little ones are watching you
Monkey see (monkey see)
And monkey do (monkey do)
Be careful how you act
'cause the little ones are watching you
