Send "Monkey" ringtone to your cell

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!

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

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)
