There's a shakedown, going down
Around town, from what I hear
The news is out on the street,
Though it's second hand and incomplete
Everybody get in line we're going to the zoo
Cause the monkeys there, I swear
Are a lot like me and you
Darwin said - I think he said
We evolved from the apes you know
But sometimes excuse my rhyme
It's more like Larry, Curly, and Moe
If it rains again, for forty days
And forty nights what would Noah do?
He'd need a lawyer and an agent 
For the show to go through
Everybody gets a turn, we're going to the zoo
Cause the monkeys there, I swear
Are acting better than me and you
(Monkey see, monkey do just like me and you)
If our ancestors could see us now
What would they do?
Let the lions and the monkeys go
And put us in the zoo now wouldn't you?
Everybody gets a turn, we're going to the zoo
Cause the monkeys there, I swear
Are a lot like me and you
(Monkey see, monkey do just like me and you)
