Monkey Lyrics

One Monday morning I got up late
And there was Mr. Monkey outside me gate
One Monday morning I got up late
There was Mr. Monkey outside me gate

Don�t know what to say de monkey won�t do
(Don�t know what to say de monkey won�t do)
Don�t know what to say de monkey won�t do
(Don�t know what to say de monkey won�t do)

My girl came over to have a drink
I came downstairs and what do you think?
The monkey had run and he let her in
He poured her a glass of me favorite gin

I don�t know what to say de monkey won�t do
(Don�t know what to say de monkey won�t do)
Well I drink gin monkey drink gin too
(Don�t know what to say de monkey won�t do)

I ran to de yard to get a stick
But I�m tellin you friends that monkey was quick
�Cause when I returned much to my disgrace
Mr. Monkey had my girl in a manly embrace

I don�t know what to say de monkey won�t do
(Don�t know what to say de monkey won�t do)
Don�t know what to say de monkey won�t do
(Don�t know what to say de monkey won�t do)

Yessah! Up!
Ah play dat ting!
Round de corner!
Hep!

I went to me bath for a Burma Shave
This monkey going put me in a me grave
The entire cabinet was laid to waste
I had to shave with some Gleem toothpaste

I don�t know what to say de monkey won�t do
(Don�t know what to say de monkey won�t do)
Well I go to shave monkey go shave too
(Don�t know what to say de monkey won�t do)

Well by dis time I was in despair
I was using de shoebrush to brush me hair
I ask him to leave but he stayed around
He pulled de chain and I almost went down

I don�t know what to say de monkey won�t do
(Don�t know what to say de monkey won�t do)
Don�t know what to say de monkey won�t do
(Don�t know what to say de monkey won�t do)

Yep!
Yessah! Play sah!
Mariposa!
Yep!

Well me patience run out and I�m telling you sure
Tomorrow I�m going show dat monkey de door
And if he don�t leave I�m inviting you
To me house for dumplings and monkey stew

Don�t know what to say de monkey won�t do
(Don�t know what to say de monkey won�t do)

I don�t know what to say de monkey won�t do
(Don�t know what to say de monkey won�t do)

When I drink gin monkey drink gin too
(Don�t know what to say de monkey won�t do)

When I go (rat tat tat) monkey go (rat tat tat) too
(Don�t know what to say de monkey won�t do)

When I go brrp! Monkey go brrp! too
(Don�t know what to say de monkey won�t do)

When I go down monkey go down too
(Don�t know what to say de monkey won�t do)

When I go up monkey go up too
(Don�t know what to say de monkey won�t do)

Don�t know what to say de monkey won�t do
(Don�t know what to say de monkey won�t do)

I don�t know what to say de monkey won�t do
(Don�t know what to say de monkey won�t do)

When I go (smooch) monkey go (smooch) too
(Don�t know what to say de monkey won�t do)

Don�t know what to say de monkey won�t do
(Don�t know what to say de monkey won�t do)

When I play drum monkey play drum too
(Don�t know what to say de monkey won�t do)

I don�t know what to say de monkey won�t do
(Don�t know what to say de monkey won�t do)

Don�t know what to say de monkey won�t do
(Don�t know what to say de monkey won�t do)
