One Monday morning I got up late
And there was mister Monkey outside me gate
One Monday morning I got up late
And there was mister Monkey outside me gate
Don't know what to say de Monkey won't do,
Don't know what to say de Monkey won't do,
Don't know what to say de Monkey won't do,
Don't know what to say de Monkey won't do,
My girl came over to have a drink,
I came downstairs and what do you think
Monkey had run and he let her in,
And pour her a glass of me favorite gin
Don't know what to say de Monkey won't do,
Don't know what to say de Monkey won't do,
Don't know what to say de Monkey won't do,
Don't know what to say de Monkey won't do,
I ran to de yard to get a stick
I'm telling you friends that Monkey was quick
'Cause when I return, much to my disgrace,
The Monkey had me gal in a mad embrace
Don't know what to say de Monkey won't do,
Don't know what to say de Monkey won't do,
Don't know what to say de Monkey won't do,
Don't know what to say de Monkey won't do,
I went to me bath for a Burma Shave,
This Monkey gonna put me inna me grave,
The entire can 'net was laid to waste
I had to shave with some Gleem tooth paste
Don't know what to say de Monkey won't do,
Don't know what to say de Monkey won't do,
Don't know what to say de Monkey won't do,
Don't know what to say de Monkey won't do,
Well by this time I was in despair
I was using the shoe brush to brush me hair
I ask him to leave but he stayed around
He pulled the chain and I almost went down,
Don't know what to say de Monkey won't do,
Don't know what to say de Monkey won't do,
Don't know what to say de Monkey won't do,
Don't know what to say de Monkey won't do,
Me patience run out and I'm tellin' you sure,
Tomorrow I'm gonna show dat Monkey de door,
And' if he don't leave I'm invitin' you
To my house for dumplings an' Monkey stew
Don't know what to say de Monkey won't do,
Don't know what to say de Monkey won't do,
Don't know what to say de Monkey won't do,
Don't know what to say de Monkey won't do,
