Swing in this tree Oh I am bounce around so well Branch to branch, Limb to limb you see All in a day's dream I'm stuck Like the other monkeys here I am a humble monkey Sitting up in here again But then came the day I climbed out of these safe limbs Ventured away Walking tall, head high up and singing I went to the city Car horns, corners and the gritty Now I am the proudest monkey you've ever seen Monkey see, monkey do
Then comes the day Staring at myself I turn to question me I wonder do I want the simple, simple life that I once lived in well Oh things were quiet then In a way they were the better days But now I am the proudest monkey you've ever seen Monkey see, monkey do Monkey see, monkey do
Oh I Used to live in a tree I loved it but I thought it wasn't enough for me... So I paved a road to the city For me...and for the rest of the monkeys I'm on the scene- Yes I'm on the scene...again. Yes I'm this proud monkey...leading the way. So... When we must leave... For good I am the proudest monkey... That I'm aware o' Monkey see, monkey do, hit my tail. Monkey see, monkey do.
When I walk, I walk so tall Not bent all double over... Like the other monkeys, that I know But still I don't know: If I'm so good or If heavens the place to go or If hell is where we were If Sinnin'g's what we do I know that I'm A smartest monkey That I am aware o' Monkey see, monkey do. Monkey see.
Who are they Who are they everywhere Who is this monkey Thinks he is so great Who taught this monkey to We taught this monkey to Turn in the trail of his friends? We are the proudest monkeys We are the proudest monkeys You and me are the proudest monkeys You and I am the proudest monkeys Monkey see, monkey do.
