A Hot Time In Monkey Town 1911

Oh the moon aglow
shines down below,
On Monkey Town.
Yells and cocoanut shells
like wedding bells
ring up and down,
Cheerful chattering,
apes are scattering,
fancy flattering spoons,
Baboons bubbling
dancing doubling
tender troubling croons.
Jungles jingling,
monkeys mingling,
teasing tingling tunes.
From tree to tree
a jungle jubilee.

There'll be a hot time
way down in monkey town,
Oh, what a jungle honeymoon.
When monkey shine,
meets monkey mine,
They'll go swinging
gaily singing,
joy bells ringing
all monkey land
will dance to that jungle band,
Baboons keep bobbing up and down.
When you see
them climb the fam'ly tree,
there'll be a hot time
in Monkey Town.

There'll be a hot time
way down in monkey town,
Oh, what a jungle honeymoon.
When monkey shine,
meets monkey mine,
They'll go swinging
gaily singing,
joy bells ringing
all monkey land
will dance to that jungle band,
Baboons keep bobbing up and down.
When you see
them climb the fam'ly tree,
there'll be a hot time
in Monkey Town.

Apes with lovely shapes
who hang like grapes
from ev'ry tree,
Pine for just a sign
from monkey shine.
But he won't see.
Gaily tittering,
onward flittering,
with a glittering eye,
Tossing tumbling,
stooping stumbling
with a mumbling sigh.
Madly muddling,
hugging, huddling
coyly cuddling shy,
These two will woo,
like merry monkeys do.

There'll be a hot time
way down in monkey town,
Oh, what a jungle honeymoon.
When monkey shine,
meets monkey mine,
They'll go swinging
gaily singing,
joy bells ringing
all monkey land
will dance to that jungle band,
Baboons keep bobbing up and down.
When you see
them climb the fam'ly tree,
there'll be a hot time
in Monkey Town.

There'll be a hot time
way down in monkey town,
Oh, what a jungle honeymoon.
When monkey shine,
meets monkey mine,
They'll go swinging
gaily singing,
joy bells ringing
all monkey land
will dance to that jungle band,
Baboons keep bobbing up and down.
When you see
them climb the fam'ly tree,
there'll be a hot time
in Monkey Town.
