lyrics

Hey monkey monkey, what are you gonna do?
Where are you going to? Hey, monkey monkey.
Hey monkey monkey, where did you get those keys?
Just hand them over please, and go back up into the trees.

Must you crash and burn, before you learn?
Hey hey, what do you say, let’s put that away?
It’s been quite a day, such a day, what a day, it’s a day.
It’s been quite a day, been quite a day, wouldn’t you say?

Hey monkey monkey, where did you get those tools?
Why did you make those rules? Hey, monkey monkey.
Hey monkey monkey, please don’t you understand
That opposable thumb and hand should be used for things far less grand

Must we make such a long list of ifs, ands or buts?
Hey hey, what do you say? Let’s put that away,
And go play in the trees with the leaves and bananas.
Let’s gather some berries and nuts.

Hey monkey monkey, why did you build that thing?
Why did you crown that king? Hey monkey, monkey.
Hey monkey monkey, please put the matches down.
Take off your fancy gown, let the jungle consume the town.

Must you crash and burn before you learn?
Hey hey, put that away. What do you say?
It’s been quite a day, such a day, what a day, it’s a day.
It’s been quite a day, what a day, a delirious day, wouldn’t you say?
Let’s call it a day, it’s been quite a day, such a day, what a day.
Let’s call it a day, it’s been quite a day, wouldn’t you say?
