Слова

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 the monkey won't do
(Don't know what to say the monkey won't do)
Don't know what to say the monkey won't do
(Don't know what to say the 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 the monkey won't do
(Don't know what to say the monkey won't do)
Well, I drink gin, monkey drink gin too
(Don't know what to say the monkey won't do)
I ran to the 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 the monkey won't do
(Don't know what to say the monkey won't do)
Don't know what to say the monkey won't do
(Don't know what to say the 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 this time I was in despair
I was using the shoebrush to brush me hair
I ask him to leave but he stayed around
He pulled the 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 that monkey the door
And if he don't leave I'm inviting you
To my house for dumplings and monkey stew
Don't know what to say the monkey won't do
(Don't know what to say the monkey won't do)
I don't know what to say the monkey won't do
(Don't know what to say the monkey won't do)
When I drink gin, monkey drink gin too
(Don't know what to say the monkey won't do)
When I go, monkey go too
(Don't know what to say the monkey won't do)
When I go brrp! Monkey go brrp! too
(Don't know what to say the monkey won't do)
When I go down, monkey go down too
(Don't know what to say the monkey won't do)
When I go up, monkey go up too
(Don't know what to say the monkey won't do)
Don't know what to say the monkey won't do
(Don't know what to say the 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 monkey go too
(Don't know what to say the monkey won't do)
Don't know what to say the monkey won't do
(Don't know what to say the monkey won't do)
When I play drum, monkey play drum too
(Don't know what to say the monkey won't do)
I don't know what to say the monkey won't do
(Don't know what to say the monkey won't do)
Don't know what to say the monkey won't do
(Don't know what to say the monkey won't do)
