The Monkey Song

Down in jungle town, a honeymoon is coming soon
You can hear the serenade of a pretty little monkey maid
And in monkey land, a chimpanzee climbed up a tree
Oh, he'll be true to monkey-doodle-doo way down in jungle town

Yabba dabba dabba dabba dabba dabba dabba,
Said the monkey to the chimp
Yabba dabba dabba dabba dabba dabba dabba,
Said the chimpy to the monk
All day long they'd sing and play
All night long they'd frolic away
Singing and swinging in a honky-tonky way

Yabba dabba dabba in monkey talk means, chimp, do I love you
Yabba dabba dabba in chimpanzee means, monk, I love you too
One night in June, the big babboon, he married them, and very soon,
They went upon their yabba dabba honeymoo-oo-oo-oon
They went upong their yabba dabba honeymoon
