Your Monkey Won't Be Home Tonight

You treat me just as if

I were a monkey in a cage

Your friends all think it's clever

They think it's the latest rage.



They point at me behind my back

And say now ain't that cute

But when you get home tonight

You'll find your monkey's flew the coop.



And I'll be walkin' the dog

A livin' high on the hog

Blowin' goin' roarin' every night

You'll find me struttin' my strut

Yes, I'll be cuttin' the rug

Don't wait up

'Cause your monkey won't be home tonight.

Whatever suits you fancy

It's why you think I should do

Jump up and down

Turn round and round.



And then jump through the hoop

But I should swing from limb to limb

So everyone can see

Well, I may do some swingin'

But it won't be from a tree.



And I'll be walkin' the dog

A livin' high on the hog

Blowin' goin' roarin' every night

You'll find me struttin' my strut

Yes, I'll be cuttin' the rug

Don't wait up

'Cause your monkey won't be home tonight.



Don't wait up

'Cause your monkey won't be home tonight...
