Monkey |
| One Monday morning I got up late |
| And there was Mr. Monkey outside me gate |
| One Monday morning I got up late |
| There was Mr. Monkey outside me gate |
| Don’t know what to say de monkey wont do |
| (don't know what to say de monkey wont do) |
| Don’t know what to say de monkey wont do |
| (don't know what to say de monkey wont do) |
| My girl came over to have a drink |
| I came downstairs and what do you think? |
| The monkey had run and he let her in He poured her a glass of me favorite gin |
| I don’t know what to say de monkey wont do |
| (don't know what to say de monkey wont do) |
| Well I drink gin monkey drink gin too |
| (don't know what to say de monkey wont do) |
| I ran to de yard to get a stick |
| But Im tellin you friends that monkey was quick |
| Cause when I returned much to my disgrace |
| Mr. Monkey had my girl in a manly embrace |
| I don’t know what to say de monkey wont do |
| (don't know what to say de monkey wont do) |
| Don’t know what to say de monkey wont do |
| (don't know what to say de monkey wont do) |

| Ah play dat ting! |
| Round de corner! |
| Hep! |
| I went to me bath for a Burma Shave |
| This monkey going put me in a me grave |
| The entire cabinet was laid to waste |
| I had to shave with some Gleem toothpaste |
| I don’t know what to say de monkey wont do |
| (don't know what to say de monkey wont do) |
| Well I go to shave monkey go shave too |
| (don't know what to say de monkey wont do) |
| Well by dis time I was in despair |
| I was using de shoebrush to brush me hair |
| I ask him to leave but he stayed around |
| He pulled de chain and I almost went down |
| I don’t know what to say de monkey wont do |
| (don't know what to say de monkey wont do) |
| Don’t know what to say de monkey wont do |
| (don't know wha |
