(Chorus) 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 goes by
(Chorus)
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
