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

Dont know what to say de monkey wont do
(Dont know what to say de monkey wont do)
Dont know what to say de monkey wont do
(Dont know what to say de monkey wont 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 dont know what to say de monkey wont do
(Dont know what to say de monkey wont do)
Well I drink gin monkey drink gin too
(Dont know what to say de monkey wont do)

I ran to de yard to get a stick
But Im 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 dont know what to say de monkey wont do
(Dont know what to say de monkey wont do)
Dont know what to say de monkey wont do
(Dont know what to say de monkey wont 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 dont know what to say de monkey wont do
(Dont know what to say de monkey wont do)
Well I go to shave monkey go shave too
(Dont know what to say de monkey wont 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 dont know what to say de monkey wont do
(Dont know what to say de monkey wont do)
Dont know what to say de monkey wont do
(Dont know wha
