The moon is bright above
Oh, what a night for love
And as I hold you near
I whisper in your ear
I go ape everytime I see you smile
I'm a ding-dong gorilla and I carry on cave man style
I'm gonna bop you on the head
And love you all the while
Well, I'm a monkey's uncle
Who's a cousin to a chimpanzee
Like I was reelin and rockin
And swingin from a cocoanut tree
Oh, honey can't you see
You bring out the monkey business in me
Orangotango ring-ting-tong
I'm related to old King Kong
Honey won't you say you're mine
With a honky tonky monkey shine
When you hold my hand
I'm a pre-historic man
I go ape!
Like a barrel of monkeys
On an aba-da-ba honeymoon
I go squealin and switchin and howlin
Like a big baboon
Well, baby I'll explode
If you don't come and kiss me soon
Yeah! Ooh!
Ohh... Honey you know that I'm gonna be true to you
I'll keep you in bananas and bring you cocoanuts too
And we'll settle down
In the nearest county zoo
Orangotango ring-ting-tong
I'm related to old King Kong
Honey won't you say you're mine
With a honky tonky monkey shine
When you hold my hand
I'm a pre-historic man
I go ape!
