Lyrics

I see a little monkey, looking very happy
As she sits on a branch of a leafy old tree.
I can see as she sits she's making silly face..
I wonder if she's making silly faces at me.

 

Hey Mrs. Monkey, Hey Mrs. Monkey,
Oh how I want to play games with you.
But I know Mrs. Monkey that
it couldn't ever happen,
It's never allowed in a city zoo.

And now I see she's swinging
Oh so very quickly,
From a branch to a branch
on a leafy old tree.
How funny is the monkey
Up and down and all around,
I wonder if she's trying to hide from me.

Hey Mrs. Monkey, Hey Mrs. Monkey,
Oh how I want to play games with you.
But I know Mrs. Monkey that
it couldn't ever happen,
It's never allowed in a city zoo.
