| Way down in the Congoland
|
| Lived a happy chimpanzee
|
| She loved a monkey with a long tail
|
| (Lordy, how she loved him)
|
| Each night he would find her there
|
| Swinging in the coconut tree
|
| And the monkey gay, at the break of day
|
| Loved to hear his chimpie say
|
| Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab
|
| Said the chimpie to the monk
|
| Baba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab
|
| Said the monkey to the chimp
|
| All night long they’d chatter away
|
| All day long they were happy and gay
|
| Swinging and singing in their hunky tonkey way
|
| Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab
|
| Means, monk, I love but you
|
| Baba, daba, dab, in monkey talk
|
| Means, chimp, I love you, too
|
| Then the big baboon, one night in June
|
| He married them and very soon
|
| They went upon their aba daba honeymoon
|
| Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab
|
| Said the chimpie to the monk
|
| Baba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab
|
| Said the monkey to the chimp
|
| All night long they’d chatter away
|
| All day long they were happy and gay
|
| Swinging and singing in their hunky tonkey way
|
| Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab
|
| Means, monk, I love but you
|
| Baba, daba, dab, in monkey talk
|
| Means, chimp, I love you, too
|
| One night they were made man and wife
|
| And now they cry, this is the life
|
| Since they came from their aba daba honeymoon
|
| Well, you should have heard that band
|
| Play upon their wedding day
|
| Each chimp and monkey had nutshells
|
| (Lordy, how they played them)
|
| And now it is every night
|
| High up in the coconut tree
|
| It’s the same old thing, with the same old swing
|
| When the monk and chimpie sing
|
| Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab
|
| Said the chimpie to the monk
|
| Baba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab
|
| Said the monkey to the chimp
|
| All night long they’d chatter away
|
| All day long they were happy and gay
|
| Swinging and singing in their hunky tonkey way
|
| Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab
|
| Means, monk, I love but you
|
| Baba, daba, dab, in monkey talk
|
| Means, chimp, I love you, too
|
| Then the big baboon one night in June
|
| He married them and very soon
|
| They went upon their aba daba honeymoon
|
| Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab
|
| Said the chimpie to the monk
|
| Baba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab
|
| Said the monkey to the chimp
|
| All night long they’d chatter away
|
| All day long they were happy and gay
|
| Swinging and singing in their hunky tonkey way
|
| Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab
|

|
| Baba, daba, dab, in monkey talk

|

|
| And now they cry, this is the life
