Verse 1
(D major) Of all the vulgar songs that I (F sharp major) heard in his (B major) tory,
(A major) none beat back the (D major) monkey. (A major)
(D major) The government should (B major) deal more seriously,
(G major) and let the people sing (A major) songs more decently.
(D major) Too (B major) much children around,
(G major) indulging themselves (D major) in this common song
Such as I had a little monkey,
one day I (B major) lent it to a (A major) lady (E major)
(A major) And the (D major) lady went in a parlour
to buy some (G major) bread
(E minor) They said she'd (G major) take a piece of charcoal
and put it in the (D major) monkey
You know where, (B major) oh my lord, (E major)
now (A major) the monkey go (D major) dead
Darling, (B major) woe, my lord,
(E major) (A major) now the mon (D major) key gone dead
Darling, (B major) woe, my (E major) lord,
(A major) now the monkey gone (D major) dead (G major) (A major) (D major) (B major)
(G major) (A major)
(D major) Discovery, I was jumping
up in a steel band
Enjoy (A major) ing the (D major) rhythm section
And when they (B minor) started to (D major) beat the tune of the monkey,
(E major) I was (A major) really happy
(D major) But when the people star (B major) ted to sing the song,
(C sharp major) I laughed till I nearly falled down
I (D major) couldn't believe my ears, (G major)
it was the (F sharp major) filthiest word (C sharp major) s that I heard for years
How (D major) it had an old lady,
who was resting her body
(A major) They (D major) say a big black monkey
decided to (G major) tackle she (F sharp major)
(B major) The monkey take (G major) a piece of lamb (G major) and
put it in the (D major) lady's (B minor) betchoy lamp.
(B major) Oh my lord, (E major) (A major) now the lady gone (D major) dead.
(F sharp major) Darling, (B major) oh my lord,
now the lady (A major) gone (D major) dead.
Darling, (G major) oh (B major) my lord, (F sharp major)
now the lady gone (D major) dead.
Oh darling, (B major) oh (B minor) my lord, (D major)
(A major) (D major) now the monkey gone dead. (B major) (A major) (D major) (B major)
(D major) (A major)
(D major) If the law do not take some leg (C sharp major) al proceeding,
I'm (E major) sorry for the (A major) young ones (D major) coming,
Because they're starting out singing
the tun (C sharp major) e of the monkey,
And their lessons are (D major) secondary,
Their important sub (B major) ject is college,
So (G major) with the filthiest word
s that you (A major) want to know, (C sharp major)
Mon (B minor) key tune (B major) really sweet,
(G major) But it's the (F sharp major) bad words in (D major) it
I'm afraid to meet,
Such as it had a little (C sharp major) mister,
who was living by a mister
An (E major) (D major) d this mister wanted to blister
the next mister (G major) (F sharp major)
So he (F sharp major) pull out a blister,
(G major) and blistered up the mister blisterer (A major)
(B major) Oh my lord,
(A major) now the mister gone (D major) dead
Darling, (B major) oh my lord
Now the monkey gone (C sharp major) dead
Darling, (B major) oh (B minor) my lord
