Oh the monkey's had a better tale than you
Compared to yours, all their chatter sound so true
The way you act it seems to me
That all the monkeys should go free
And you're the one that should be locked up in the zoo
When I married you I thought you were a man
But you're the biggest ape that's living in this land
I'd like to run you up a tree for the way you lie to me
Your swinging round is getting out of hand
Oh the monkey's had a better tale than you
Compared to yours, all their chatter sound so true
The way you act it seems to me
That all the monkeys should go free
And you're the one that should be locked up in the zoo
But every monkey has its day so go ahead and play
Make your plans and tell your lies and stick to them
But from now on I remind you
You can drag your tail behind you
But you finally got yourself out on a limb
But every monkey has its day so go ahead and play
Make your plans and tell your lies and stick to them
But from now on I remind you
You can drag your tail behind you
But you finally got yourself out on a limb
Oh the monkey's had a better tale than you
