Verse 1
(D major) (G major) (D major) Deep in the (E minor) jungle where
the (D major) coconuts grow, (G major)
lives a (D major) cool little (E minor) monkey
that the (F sharp minor) world should know.
(G major) He wore a (D major) black silk suit
(E minor) and long (D major) black shoes. (G major)
You (A minor) ought to (C major) hear the (G major) monkey
when he (C major) sings the blues.
A (D major) monkey over here, (G major)
a (D major) monkey over there, (G major)
a (D major) deer monkey (G major) there,
monkey, (D major) monkey everywhere,
(G major) doing the (D major) monkey all (G major)
(D major) (G major) over (A minor) (A major) town.
(G major) They're doing the
monkey around. (D major) (G major) (C major)
He (D major) took his girl (E minor) to a (F sharp minor) dance one night.
(G major) The (D major) band that played (E minor) was out (F sharp minor) of sight. (G major)
He (D major) grabbed her by the (E minor) hand
and got on (D major) the floor. (G major)
And (A minor) when they (C major) did the (D major) monkey,
they stole (C major) the show.
A (D major) monkey over here, (G major)
a (D major) monkey over (G major) there,
a (D major) hill monkey there, (G major)
monkey, (D major) monkey everywhere.
(G major) Do the (D major) monkey all (G major) (D major)
(G major) over (A minor) (A major) town.
They (G major) drew the monkey around (D major) (G major) (C major)
Now the dance (D major) he did
(E minor) There with (F sharp minor) his girl
(G major) Made (D major) him (E minor) famous
All around (F sharp minor) the world
(G major) The (D major) dance they did
(E minor) Was oh (D major) so fine
(G major) You (A minor) ought to (C major) see the (D major) monkeys
Do the (C major) monkey dance
A (D major) monkey over here
(G major) A monkey over (D major) there (G major)
A (D major) hill monkey
Monkey, (G major) monkey,
(D major) (G major) you're the (D major) monkey. (G major)
Oh, you're looking (D minor) good. (G major)
Yeah, (D minor) you're (G major) swinging on a (D minor) band. (G major)
Give me your big, strong land. (D major) (G major)
You're the monkey around. (D minor) (G major)
Now (D minor) you're (G major) monkeying around.
(C major) (G major)
