I really didn't catch the monkey business but
I've learned that it has been going on for quite some time.
I confess- I still don't get it.

[Verse 1]
It was Leap Year in Mon-key Land, And in a tree so high,
There lived the King of monk-ey clans, Batch'-lor so ver-y shy,
Un-til a maid-en came, anx-ious to change her name,
Who smiled a smile of love, She sim-ply rolled her rogu-ish eyes,
And sang to him a-bove.
[Chorus]
Monk-ey Doo-dle, Doo-dle Dan-dy
That's a ver-y fun-ny name
Some-day it may come in han-dy,
You look lone-some it's a shame
If you think I'm all the can-dy
Then I'll tell you what to do,
Just hand me all your boo-dle,
Now don't go off your noo-dle,
And I'll be your monk-ey doo-dle do.
[Verse 2]
She swung up to the tree tops tall, They mar-ried right a-way,
Soon all the monks be-gan to call, To cel-e-brate the day,
He was their monk-ey king so they all came to sing,
And have a jub-i-lee, Knock-o the monk when he o-bliged,
Sang loud with monk-ey glee.

[Verse 1]
Hear that wed-ding tune,
come on and spoon close by my side;
Soon the jun-gle moon will shine
up-on a hap-py bride;
Mon-keys tall and mon-keys small with fun-ny face,
Will cut up with fun-ny mon-key shines,
Get a-board with me we'll go and see the Ju-bi-lee,
[Chorus]
All a-board for mon-key Town,
Hon-ey moon is shin-ing down,
When the king pre-sents his crown,
to the blush-ing bride;
Ev-'ry mon-key and Ba-boon,
Will be sing-ing might-y soon
When they hear those bells go ding-a-ling,
There'll be a hot time in Mon-key Town.
[Verse 2]
Close the bung-a-low,
a-way we'll go to mon-key town;
Kiss your mon-key Miss
let her put on her swell-est gown;
Mon-keys grand will lead the band a-round the trees,
Fol-lowed by the mon-key bride and groom,
Ev'-ry mon-key proud will join the crowd and hol-ler loud.
