They had the righteous stuff

They were really quite daring/arrogant

In their magnificent flying machines

They were the chosen few

They loved God and the flag

They had hair-cuts you could set your watch by



All hail to Monkey '61, all hail to Monkey '61



He was the first one in space

Just like Henry The Cat

Was the first to wear Channel No.5

They taught two-two song

They taught him right from wrong

With their sweet nuzzles and electric shocks



So all hail to Monkey '61, all hail to Monkey '61

Where was his ticker tape parade? For Monkey '61

Where was his lunch with Jackie O?
