Monkey Doodle Dandy 1909

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 06 Sep 2005

It was Leap Year in Monkey Land,
and in a tree so high,
there lived the King of monkey clans,
Batch'lor so very shy,
until a maiden came,
anxious to change her name,
who smiled a smile of love,
she simply rolled her roguish eyes,
and sang to him above.

Monkey Doodle, Doodle Dandy,
that's a very funny name
someday it may come in handy,
you look lonesome it's a shame.
If you think I'm all the candy
then I'll tell you what to do,
just hand me all your boodle,
now don't go off your noodle,
and I'll be your monkey doodle do.

Monkey Doodle, Doodle Dandy,
that's a very funny name
someday it may come in handy,
you look lonesome it's a shame.
If you think I'm all the candy
then I'll tell you what to do,
just hand me all your boodle,
now don't go off your noodle,
and I'll be your monkey doodle do.

She swung up to the tree tops tall,
they married right away,
soon all the monks began to call,
to celebrate the day,
he was their monkey king
so they all came to sing,
and have a jubilee,
Knocko the monk when he obliged,
sang loud with monkey glee.

Monkey Doodle, Doodle Dandy,
that's a very funny name
someday it may come in handy,
you look lonesome it's a shame.
If you think I'm all the candy
then I'll tell you what to do,
just hand me all your boodle,
now don't go off your noodle,
and I'll be your monkey doodle do.

Monkey Doodle, Doodle Dandy,

If you think I'm all the candy
then I'll tell you what to do,
just hand me all your boodle,
now don't go off your noodle,
and I'll be your monkey doodle do.
