Oh my honey
do come and hurry to the Zoo,
where the funny little monkeys are,
if you want to laugh for an hour and a half,
better hurry up and take a car,
come and see them dance,
that peculiar little prance,
you'll be crazy over every bar,
come and see them do that monkey doodle doo.

Watch those monkeys
monkey doodle doo all around,
all around, all around,
watch those monks go off their noodle
as they bound 'round,
look, look, look, look, look,
at the funny little monkeys in the cage,
eating peanuts while they're monkey doodleing
Watch those monkeys
throw their shoulder in the air,
in the air, in the air,
see them snap their claws
and holler it's a bear there,
see that monkey on that bench,
lead the band with a monkey wrench,
while the rest are dancing,
that monkey doodle doo.

Watch those monkeys
monkey doodle doo all around,
all around, all around,
watch those monks go off their noodle
as they bound 'round,
look, look, look, look, look,
at the funny little monkeys in the cage,
eating peanuts while they're monkey doodleing
Watch those monkeys
throw their shoulder in the air,
in the air, in the air,
see them snap their claws
and holler it's a bear there,
see that monkey on that bench,
lead the band with a monkey wrench,
while the rest are dancing,
that monkey doodle doo.

Honey hear that pure little monkey overture,
coming from the little monkey band,
can't you see the tails winding
all around the rails,
hear the leader of them all command,
listen to his moans in a language of his own,
take your monkey ladies by the hand,
take your partners for that monkey doodle doo.

Watch those monkeys
monkey doodle doo all around,
all around, all around,
watch those monks go off their noodle
as they bound 'round,
look, look, look, look, look,
at the funny little monkeys in the cage,
eating peanuts while they're monkey doodleing
Watch those monkeys
throw their shoulder in the air,
in the air, in the air,
see them snap their claws
and holler it's a bear there,
see that monkey on that bench,
lead the band with a monkey wrench,
while the rest are dancing,
that monkey doodle doo.
