Lyrics
Chorus
Watch those monkeys monkey doodle
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 doodeling
Watch those monkeys throw their shoulders
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
