I were a monkey in a cage
Your friends all think it's clever
They think it's the latest rage.
They point at me behind my back
And say now ain't that cute
But when you get home tonight
You'll find your monkey's flew the coop.
And I'll be walkin' the dog
A livin' high on the hog
Blowin' goin' roarin' every night
You'll find me struttin' my strut
Yes, I'll be cuttin' the rug
Don't wait up
'Cause your monkey won't be home tonight.
--- Instrumental ---
Whatever suits you fancy
It's why you think I should do
Jump up and down
Turn round and round.
And then jump through the hoop
But I should swing from limb to limb
So everyone can see
Well, I may do some swingin'
But it won't be from a tree.
And I'll be walkin' the dog
A livin' high on the hog
Blowin' goin' roarin' every night
You'll find me struttin' my strut
Yes, I'll be cuttin' the rug
Don't wait up
'Cause your monkey won't be home tonight.
Don't wait up
'Cause your monkey won't be home tonight...
You treat me just as if I were a monkey in a cage Your friends all think it's clever They think it's the latest rage. They point at me behind my back And say now ain't that cute But when you get home tonight You'll find your monkey's flew the coop. And I'll be walkin' the dog A livin' high on the hog Blowin' goin' roarin' every night You'll find me struttin' my strut Yes, I'll be cuttin' the rug Don't wait up 'Cause your monkey won't be home tonight. --- Instrumental --- Whatever suits you fancy It's why you think I should do Jump up and down Turn round and round. And then jump through the hoop But I should swing from limb to limb So everyone can see Well, I may do some swingin' But it won't be from a tree. And I'll be walkin' the dog A livin' high on the hog Blowin' goin' roarin' every night You'll find me struttin' my strut Yes, I'll be cuttin' the rug Don't wait up 'Cause your monkey won't be home tonight. Don't wait up 'Cause your monkey won't be home tonight... Explain Request ×
