On A Monkey Honeymoon 1909

When the jungle moon
is shining thro' the banyan trees,
Then an old love tune
floats softly on the evening breeze,
news is spreading of a wedding grand
all monkey land
will be on hand,
listen to them cheering as they stand,
while they command
"Strike up the band."
"Here comes the bride
here comes the bride,"
Just hear the bridegroom sing:

You are my lovey dovey
I am your honey boy,
My little tootsie wootsie,
You fill my heart with joy
and when the wedding's over,
we'll go where we can spoon,
Monkey shines and monkey kisses
with my little monkey missus
on a monkey honeymoon.

You are my lovey dovey
I am your honey boy,
My little tootsie wootsie,
You fill my heart with joy
and when the wedding's over,
we'll go where we can spoon,
Monkey shines and monkey kisses
with my little monkey missus
on a monkey honeymoon.

Hear the wedding bells
her father gives the bride away,
and the jungle swells
are all dressed in their best array,
her first beau comes round and tries to spoon,
that fool baboon
no more hell croon,
she just listens to the bridegroom's tune,
and they'll start soon their honeymoon.
"Where is the bride?
She's by his side,
list to his serenade:

You are my lovey dovey
I am your honey boy,
My little tootsie wootsie,
You fill my heart with joy
and when the wedding's over,
we'll go where we can spoon,
Monkey shines and monkey kisses
with my little monkey missus
on a monkey honeymoon.

You are my lovey dovey
I am your honey boy,
My little tootsie wootsie,
You fill my heart with joy
and when the wedding's over,
we'll go where we can spoon,
Monkey shines and monkey kisses
with my little monkey missus
on a monkey honeymoon.
