Lyrics

monkeying around

I like to see the monkey
when I go to the zoo
there?s something about a monkey
that?s so like me and you
sometimes they laugh, sometimes they cry
like they don?t believe its true
shake their heads, bare their teeth
and do all that?s left to do

start monkeying around
jumping up and down
with a grin on their face, they?re all over the place
they aint about to settle down
monkeying around
feet off the ground
swinging through the trees, life is a breeze
they?re just monkeying around

now if you asked a monkey
what is it you do
what is it that adds up to
a monkey like you
that monkey would tell you
the best way that he knew
there aint but one, fundamental
thing you?ve got to do

start monkeying around?..
