If you believe in Darwin's theory

I'm not saying you have to but it's an interesting theory

Darwin said we all evolve from monkeys

If his theory is accurate and who am I to say?

Does the opposite work going the other way?

If it does I wanna devolve back to a monkey



I wanna be a monkey that's for sure

I wanna be a monkey like Curious George



I would sit around all day just eating bananas

I might be naked or just wear pyjamas

And make my money appearing in hilarious movies

Monkey see, monkey do

That would be my excuse

It's not my fault, I'm just a monkey who can see



I wanna be a monkey, that'd be nice

I wanna be a monkey, eating other monkey's lice



When they say it's so easy that a monkey could do it

I'd be more than happy to prove it

Then you'd know for sure if it was easy or not

And if you wanna see the home of Michael Jackson

I could provide some simian distraction

Cuz we all know monkeys are Michael's second biggest weakness



I wanna be a monkey yes I do

I wanna be a monkey and fling my poo

I wanna be a monkey

I'd be agape if I was an ape

What a thrilla to be a gorilla

It would rock to be a macaque

I wanna be a monkey
