Irving Berlin - That Monkey Tune 25 Mar 1911 lyrics
Your rating:
Down in a sunny jungle town Where the monkeys run around Lived a crazy little monkey who loved to sing A chimpanzee in a cocoanutty tree Heard his nutty melody, she Fell in love with his singing From the branches a-clinging She'd pitch her voice in a monkey key And yell with all her might [chorus:] Sing that monkey tune You monkey loon Don't dare to stop, hurry up, hurry up I want to hear that strain so queer Because I'm crazy about that monkey tune [2nd verse:] She kept a-shouting from the tree For his nutty melody Till the crazy little monkey looked up and said "I want to spoon 'neath the monkey honey moon To the nutty wedding tune, soon" Mister and Missus Monkey Pitched their voices in one key And now they can't get a wink of sleep The baby yells all night
