Verse 1
(G major) The signifying (E minor) mon key was
(A major) just (D major) too hip.
(G major) The signifying mon (E minor) key had (A major) too much lip.
(D major) He (G major) sees all, he knows all,
and (C major) that ain't all he (G major) tells all.
Don't listen to the (D major) monkey,
take a tip from me.
(A major) Said the monkey to the li (D major) on,
one (G major) bright sunny (E minor) day.
(E major) I just (A major) saw bad brother (D major) elephant
going (G major) on down the way.
From the way he talks
he ain't (F major) your friend.
(E major) And when (A major) you two meet,
it's gonna be (D major) the (G major) en d.
(A major) And that ain't (D major) all I (G major) heard him say.
He even (A major) talked about (D major) your family
in (G major) a rude sort of way.
The (C major) lion leaped (C sharpdim) up
and his (D major) tail stood straight.
(E major) He (A major) got out of the jungle like a (D major) P -38.
He (A major) floated through (D major) the air
with (G major) the greatest of (E minor) ease.
He (A major) knocked coconuts to (D major) the ground
and (G major) giraffes to their knees.
He (C major) spied Mr. (C sharpdim) Elephant
(A major) underneath (D major) the tree.
(E major) He says, (A major) you big double -eyed,
it's gonna be (D major) you or me. (A major) (D major) (G major) (E minor) (E major)
(A major) (D major) (G major) (E minor) (E major) (C major) (A major) (D major) (E major)
(A major) (D major)
(G major) Now (A major) the elephant blacked
(D major) the lion's eye (G major) s
and he messed up (E minor) his face
(E major) He (A major) even knocked his (D major) little nose
(G major) all out of place
The (C major) lion went (A major) back, more dead (D major) than alive
(E major) And (A major) that's when Mr. Monkey
star (D major) ted his jazz
He said, (A major) Brother Lion,
when (D major) you left this jungle, (G major) barely rung
An (E minor) (A major) d now you come (D major) back here,
(G major) darn near hung
Go (C major) on, get on out (A major) from underneath my (D major) tree.
(E major) Or I'll (A major) jump all over you
before you (D major) count to three.
The (A major) monkey got (D major) happy
and (G major) jumped up and (E minor) down.
(E major) Ha! (A major) His foot missed (D major) the limb
and (G major) his head hit the ground
like (C major) a streak of light (C sharpdim) ning and (D major) a bolt of heat.
(E major) Mr. (A major) Lion was on the monkey
with (D major) all four feet.
The (A major) monkey looked (D major) up
with (G major) tears in his eyes
He (E major) said, (A major) I'm sorry,
Brother (D major) Lion, I (G major) apologize
Mr. (C major) Lion said,
no (A major) need for that (D major) sighing and cry (E major) ing
I'm gonna (A major) break you up
from all of that sig (D major) nifying
The (G major) signifying (E minor) mon key (A major) was just too hip
(D major) The (G major) signifying monkey (E minor) had (A major) too much lip
(D major) He (G major) sees all, he knows all,
and (C major) that ain't all he tells (A major) all
Don't (G major) listen (D major) to the monkey,
take a tip from me
(A major) (D major)
