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!
Yep!

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
(Don’t know what to say de
monkey won’t do)

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)
