Jingy
Bob Schneider · Lonelyland [2001]
I said I got a little monkey
His name is Jingy
First name Paulo
His middle name Joe
I call him Paulo Joe Jingy
He's my little monkey
Crawl on my back
Make himself at home
So Jingy Jingy Jingy won't you leave me alone
Jingy Jingy Jingy doesn't leave me alone
(Alone)
I said I got a little monkey
(Got a little monkey)
His name is Jingy
(His name is Jingy)
Oh, he's a pretty little monkey
(Pretty little monkey)
He's got teeth like dime
Oh they'll be shinin' in the moonlight
(Shinin' in the moonlight)
Oh, they'll be shinin' just like diamonds
(Shinin' just like diamonds)
Well they'd be coolin' my skin
Cut me to the bone
So Jingy Jingy Jingy won't you leave me alone
Now Jingy Jingy Jingy doesn't leave me alone
[Incomprehensible]
I got a little monkey
(Got a little monkey)
His name is Jingy
(His name is Jingy)
I got him buried up in a backyard
(Buried up in a backyard)
Underneath the onion tree
(Aah)
I can hear him crying
Oh yeah, I can hear him laughin'
I can hear him monkey come on after me
Jingy Jingy Jingy won't you let me be
Jingy Jingy Jingy he won't let me be
Jingy Jingy Jingy just let me be
Jingy Jingy Jingy never let me be
Jingy Jingy Jingy doesn't let me be
Jingy Jingy Jingy doesn't let me be
[Incomprehensible]
