I woke up this morning And I looked all around I was looking for my monkey My monkey couldn't be found I called the police department Put out an APB So if you find my monkey Send her on home to me Who stole my monkey, my monkey, my monkey? Somebody stole my monkey, stole my monkey from me Who stole my monkey, my monkey, my monkey? Somebody stole that funky ole monkey from me So I moved to California Way down in Hollywood I got a brand new monkey And we was doing real good Standing on the corner Singing a monkey grinding song When the next thing I new Somebody played me for a fool She took my money and was long gone Bridge: My monkey got a cue ball head She got a good attitude And them long skinny legs When we get back to the motel room The way she shakes her tail It makes my heart go boom, boom, boom
