He searched all day and he
searched all night
Looking for a girl to take a donkey ride
He finally found one and he said,

And she nodded her head
and grunted, I do too
And on that blessed day
the monkeys were wed
And then they ran back to his cave
and got to bed
Back in the stone age a
man was a monkey
