Lyrics for Album: Complete Recorded Works 1925-32, Vol. 6-(1930-31) [1991]
Monkey and the baboon playin' in the grass, monkey says, "Don't you give me no sass."
Baboon give him one hard sock, just to see the monkey do the eagle rock.
Monkey doodle-do, monkey doodle-do.
You try to make a monkey out of me and I'll make a baboon out of you.
Monkey and the baboon eat some cheese, baboon says, "Monkey do you smell the breeze."
Monkey says, "Yes, that is true, just because I put on my shoes."
Monkey doodle-do, monkey doodle-do.
You try to make a monkey out of me and I'll make a baboon out of you.
Do do do do do do do, oodle doodle doodle do do do.
Wa wa do loo loo do, doodle do do do do do.
Now the monkey and baboon [were] swinging on [a] limb, baboon fell, the monkey laughed at him.
Baboon yelled, "You're too darn sly." Socked the little monkey in his eye.
Monkey doodle-do, monkey doodle-do.
You try to make a monkey out of me and I'll make a baboon out of you.
Doodle-do do do do do, doodle-do do do do do,
Doodle-do do do, doodle-do do, doodle-do do doodle-do do.
Now the monkey and the baboon had a drink of beer, baboon got dizzy and the monkey felt queer.
Should've seen 'em strugglin' down the street, wobblin' so, they couldn't stay on their feet.
Monkey doodle-do, monkey doodle-do.
You try to make a monkey out of me and I'll make a baboon out of you.
Doodle-do do do do do, doodle doodle doodle-do do do,
Doodle-do do do, loo loo do, doodle-do do do do do.
Now the monkey and the baboon peepin' through the door, baboon says, "Monkey let me see once more."
Monkey said, "Nothin' doin' tonight, gonna stay right ch'eer till I lose my sight."
Monkey doodle-do, monkey doodle-do.
You try to make a monkey out of me and I'll make a baboon out of you.
Doodle-do do doodle do do do, do do doodle oodle-ooh do do,
Doodle doodle do, loodle loo do, doodle-do do 'n do do do.
Now the monkey and the baboon playin' in the grass, monkey says, "I want some jungle jazz."
Both got together and struck it on down, like monkey business in jungle town.
