It's monkey time
        1965 (C. Perkins / H. Hee)


        That sounds like jungle music to me children
        I got a little jungle song for you
        Well down in the jungle where the rain blows free
        Lived a signified monkey in a coconut tree
        Monkey met the lion one bright sunny day
        Said if you gonna be the king you've gotta move this way

        Do the monkey shine
        Do the monkey shine
        Well it's a new sensation that's shaking this nation
        Do the monkey shine

        By (?) buffalo (?) by the lake
        Omaha and Denver and out in L.A.
        On my way to Memphis and that hometown of mine
        Jackson Tennessee doing the monkey shine

        The monkey shine
        The monkey shine
        Well it's a new sensation that's shaking this nation
        The monkey shine it's called
        The monkey shine

        Well the lion let out with a great big roar
        It's tail went back like a forty-four
        Monkey crawled the tree in just in time
        The raised one foot up and down
        The monkey shine

        It's monkey shine
        It's monkey shine
        Well it's a new sensation that's shaking this nation
        It's monkey time

        Everybody do the monkey shine
        Well it's a new sensation that's shaking this nation
        It's monkeytime

        Let's do the monkey time everybody
        It's monkeytime everybody
        Do the monkeytime
        Monkey monkeytime
