You treat me just as if I were a monkey in a cage

Your friends all think it's clever they think it's the latest rage

They point at me behind my back and say now ain't that cute

But when you get home tonight you'll find your monkey's flew the coop

And I'll be walkin' the dog a livin' high on the hog blowin' goin' roarin' every night

You'll find me struttin' my strot yes I'll be cuttin' the rug

Don't wait up cause your monkey won't be home tonight

[ guitar ]

Whatever suits you fancy it's why you think I should do

Jump up and down turn round and round and then jump through the hook

But I should swing from limb to limb so everyone can see

Well I may do some swingin' but it won't be from a tree

And I'll be walkin' the dog...

Don't wait up cause your monkey won't be home tonight
