Hello, hello Mister Monkey

You're still so fast and funky

Hello, hello Mister Monkey

You should have been a clown

Hello, hello Mister Monkey

You're still so fast and funky

Hello, hello Mister Monkey

You should have been a clown

Once he was so famous, that little old clown

Everybody used to know his name

Now he's a nameless but happy old guy

The children laugh if only he walks by

Hello, hello Mister Monkey

You're still so fast and funky

Hello, hello Mister Monkey

You should have been a clown

Hello, hello Mister Monkey

You're still so fast and funky

Hello, hello Mister Monkey

You should have been a clown

When the sun is shining he goes to the park

Climbs the empty bandstand on the green

Doing for the children his famous routine

So they still laugh when slowly he walks home

Hello, hello Mister Monkey

You're still so fast and funky

Hello, hello Mister Monkey

You should have been a clown

Hello, hello Mister Monkey

You're still so fast and funky

Hello, hello Mister Monkey

You should have been a clown
