Way down in the congo
land
lived a happy chimpanzee
she loved a monkey with a long tail
Goodness! how she loved him!!
Each night he would find her there
swinging in the coconut tree
And the monkey gay
at the break of day
Loved to hear his chimpee say
 |
Abba
dabba,dabba,dabba;dabba,dabba;dab
said the chimpee to the monk
baba,dabba,dabba,dabba,dabba,dabba.dab
said the monkey to the chimp
All night long they
would chatter away
All day long they were happy and gay
Swinging and singing in their honkey tonkey way
Abba
dabba,dabba,dabba;dabba,dabba;dab
Means " Monk I love but you"
Baba, daba,dab in monkey talk
means " chimp I love you too'!
|
Then the big baboon
one night in June
Married them and very soon
They went upon
their Aba,Daba Honeymoon!
|
Well, you should
have heard that band play
On their wedding day
Each chimp and monkey had nut shells
Goodness! how they played them!
And now it's every
night
High up in the coconut tree
it's the same old thing
With the same old swing
When the chimp and monkey sing
Abba
dabba,dabba,dabba;dabba,dabba;dab
said the chimpee to the monk
baba,dabba,dabba,dabba,dabba,dabba.dab
said the monkey to the chimp
All night long they
would chatter away
All day long they were happy and gay
Swinging and singing in their honkey tonkey way
Abba
dabba,dabba,dabba;dabba,dabba;dab
Means " Monk I love but you"
Baba, daba,dab in monkey talk
means " chimp I love you too'!
Then the big baboon
one night in June
Married them and very soon
They went upon
their Aba,Daba Honeymoon!
