Here I come, walkin' down the street. I get the funniest looks from ... everyone I meet! Hey! Hey, I'm a monkey. People say I monkey around, but I'm too busy singing, to put anybody down.

I'm just trying to be friendly; come and watch me sing and play. I'm the young generation, and I've got something to say.

Hey, hey, I'm a monkey. You never know where I'll be found, so you'd better get ready. I may be comin' to your town.

I go wherever I want to, do what I like to do. I don't have time to get restless. There's always something new.
