Sun’s coming up, ground is alive
I open up my big brown eyes
with a stretch and a yawn
there’s nothing like the jungle at dawn
sitting in the trees picking off the fleas
hanging from our knees doing what we please
jumping up and down making a fuss
t’s good to be one of us
fine, fine, feeling fine
it’s just another day of monkeyshines
swinging ‘round from vine to vine
taking in the sights and the sounds of the jungle as we’re flying by
another day of monkey shines
like bananas, here by the bunch
watch for tigers, don’t want to be lunch
gonna nap in the sun for a while
then play some games in that old country style
sitting in the trees picking off the fleas
hanging from our knees doing what we please
jumping up and down making a fuss
it’s good to be one of us
fine, fine, feeling fine
it’s just another day of monkeyshines
swinging ‘round from vine to vine
taking in the sights and the sounds of the jungle as we’re flying by
another day of monkey shines
got my own place, got me a girl
cutest primate in the whole monkey world
munching on fruit, stars up above
light up the night when we make monkey love
sitting in the trees picking off the fleas
hanging from our knees doing what we please
jumping up and down making a fuss
it’s good to be one of us
fine, fine, feeling fine
it’s just another day of monkeyshines
swinging ‘round from vine to vine
taking in the sights and the sounds of the jungle as we’re flying by
another day of monkey shines
