LISTEN
Way down in the Congo land
Lived a happy chimpanzee
She loved a monkey with a long tail
Lordy how she loved him
Each night he would find her there
Swinging on the cocoanut tree
And the monkey gay by the break of day
Loved to hear the chimpie say

Aba daba daba daba daba daba daba
Said the chimpie to the monk
Baba daba daba daba daba daba dab
Said the monkey to the chimp
All night long they'd chatter away
All day long they were happy and gay
Swinging and singing in a honkey tonkey way

Aba daba daba daba daba daba daba
Means monk I love you so
Baba daba daba in monkey talk
Means chimp I love you too
Then the big baboon one night in June
He married them and very soon
They went upon their abba daba honey moon
