ALL OF THE MONKEYS AIN'T IN THE ZOO (Tommy Collins) TOMMY COLLINS (CAPITOL 3665, 1957)
Now, I've got a cousin on my daddy's side He was a single boy and doin' fine Until he met a widder who took him for a ride He's a hubby now besides the poll of nine
All of the monkeys ain't in the zoo There's some runnin' loose around me and you Just watch when you're in a crowd and you'll agree too That all of the monkeys ain't in the zoo
Oh, the women on a budget always tickle me They're a tight as ticks and worry all the time And then a travelling salesman sweeps 'em off their feet They give a dollar for a brush that's worth a dime
All of the monkeys ain't in the zoo There's some runnin' loose around me and you Just watch when you're in a crowd and you'll agree too That all of the monkeys ain't in the zoo
Now, there's some awful smart men that run the USA They head the list of some of our great men And then there's some others who had a big shot brother They weren't elected, they were just put in
All of the monkeys ain't in the zoo There's some tellin' us what we can do Just watch when you're in a crowd and you'll agree too That all of the monkeys ain't in the zoo
I used to tell my girl when she'd get marryin' on her mind That she'd never make a monkey out of me But I was just a country kid and I didn't know the game And I guess you know what happened to me
All of the monkeys ain't in the zoo There's some runnin' loose around me and you Just watch when you're in a crowd and you'll agree too That all of the monkeys ain't in the zoo.
