Disney · Other Songs - Disney
She loves the monkey's uncle, woah woah,
She loves the monkey's uncle
And the monkey's uncle's ape for me!
I don't care what the whole world thinks
(She loves the monkey's uncle)
Call us a couple of missing links
(She loves the monkey's uncle)
Love all his monkey [shines]?
Every day is Valentine's
I love the monkey's uncle, and the monkey's uncle's ape for me!
(Ape for me!)
Uh-huh, she loves the monkey's uncle, yeah yeah
She loves the monkey's uncle, woah woah,
She loves the monkey's uncle
And the monkey's uncle's ape for me!
Listen, my heart jumps like a clown
(She loves the monkey's uncle)
Feels like the circus just came to town
(She loves the monkey's uncle)
I live in a jungle gym
In order to be with him
I love the monkey's uncle
and I wish I were the monkey's aunt!
(Monkey's aunt!)
(Woah woah woah woah woah)
On the day he marries me
What a nutty family tree
(A bride, a groom, and a chimpanzee)
Let them say he's the booby prize
He's the guy I idolize
(
Love all his monkey shines
Every day is Valentine's
I love the monkey's uncle, and the monkey's uncle's ape for me!
(Ape for me!)
Uh-huh she (I) love(s) the monkey's uncle, yeah yeah
She (I) love(s) the monkey's uncle, woah woah
She (I) loves(s) the monkey's uncle
And I'm mad about his chimpanzee!
