The Monkey Doodle Doo Lyrics
(Verse)
Monkeys upon a tree
Never are
Very blue
They never seem to be
Under par
That is true
Not like the ones you see
On a bar
In the zoo
Monkeys upon a tree
Do the Monkey Doodle Doo
(Chorus)
Oh, among the mangoes
Where the monkey gang goes
You can see them do
The little Monkey Doodle Doo
Oh, a little monkey
Playing on his one key
Gives them all the cue
To do the Monkey Doodle Doo
Let me take you by the hand
Over to the jungle band
If you're too old for dancing
Get yourself a monkey gland
And then let's
Go, my little dearie
There's the Darwin theory
Telling me and you
To do the Monkey Doodle Doo
