Monkey Song

One Monday morning I woke up late
I saw a little monkey outside me gate
I went outside to investigate
The monkey was doing the latest dance craze
I don't know what to say the monkey won't do
I don't know what to say the monkey won't do
When I do the twist monkey twist it too
I don't know what to say the monkey won't do
When I do the twist monkey twist it too
I don't know what to say the monkey won't do
One Tuesday morning I woke up late...

From Derrick Harriott’s Monkey Ska, based on a folk song from NW Africa
