Far off in a jungle glade
high up in a coc' nut tree
Baboon wooed a monkey maid
pretty little chimpanzee.
Jungle moon on high was shining,
Baboon came along.
Told her that his heart was pining.
Sang this little song:
Chimpanzee, come with me,
let us live as one
up in a cocoanut tree,
My love, O

Chimpanzee,
just for you
I sing this serenade,
My pretty monkey maid
up in the tree,
My monkey doodle lady,
you, my maid are the sweetest
in this forest glade,
I'll be your baboon baby
if you'll be my chimpanzee.
My love, O

Chimpanzee,
just for you
I sing this serenade,
My pretty monkey maid
up in the tree,
My monkey doodle lady,
you, my maid are the sweetest
in this forest glade,
I'll be your baboon baby
if you'll be my chimpanzee.

Cross the jungle land they strayed,
Baboon and his chimpanzee,
Monkey man took monkey maid
to another coc' nut tree.
There they did their monkey mooning,
in a bungalow,
Baboon to the maiden crooning,
E're in whispers low,
Chimpanzee, can't you see
You're the only little monkey maid for me,
My love, O

Chimpanzee,
just for you
I sing this serenade,
My pretty monkey maid
up in the tree,
My monkey doodle lady,
you, my maid are the sweetest
in this forest glade,
I'll be your baboon baby
if you'll be my chimpanzee
My love, O

Chimpanzee,
just for you
I sing this serenade,
My pretty monkey maid
up in the tree,
My monkey doodle lady,
you, my maid are the sweetest
in this forest glade,
I'll be your baboon baby
if you'll be my chimpanzee.
