This here’s a story bout a guy works at a zoo
A young zookeeper, who had nothin better to do.
sit wit the monkeys get high and throwing poo
And here’s what happened when they decided to cut loose

he took all the monkeys and went to old El Paso
They’d eat banana’a smoke weed and wrastle
The monkeys were cool so it wasn’t a hassle
The zookeeper took the monkeys and run
oo, oo, oo

{Refrain}
Go on, take the monkeys and run
Go on, take the monkeys and run, oo, oo, oo
Go on, take the monkeys and run
Go on, take the monkeys and run, oo, oo, oo

all his trouble, just slipped away.
The zookeeper crossed the border the very next day
He got the monkeys, hey, you know he got away
He headed down south and he’s got monkeys today
Singin’

{Refrain to fade}
