Lyrics
Monkey, monkey...
Well you’re swinging up from the loconut tree...
The loconut tree...
And you swing high, and you swing low...
You’re up the tree higher than the wind can blow...
And you need for the show sometimes is just the monkey...
Monkey, monkey...
Well you’re swinging up from the loconut tree...
The loconut tree...the loconut...
Monkey, monkey, monkey...
This is what you do...
You’re so more than funky...
Don’t let the repo man come for you...
Monkey, monkey...
Well you’re swinging up from the loconut tree...
The loconut tree...
And you swing high, and you swing low...
You’re up the tree higher than the wind can blow...
And all you need for the show sometimes is just the monkey...
Monkey, monkey...
Well you’re swinging up from the loconut tree...
The loconut tree...the loconut...
Monkey, monkey, monkey...
This is what you do...
You’re so more than funky...
Don’t let the repo man come for you...
Well you’re swinging up from the loconut tree...
The loconut tree...
The loconut tree...
The loconut tree...
