Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Swing in this tree
Mmm oh I bounce around so well
Branch to branch
Limb to limb you see
All in a days dream
I am stuck
Like the other monkeys here
[Verse 2]
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 up high and singing
I went to the city
Car horns, corners and the gritty
Now I am the proudest monkey
You ever seen
Monkey see, monkey do, yeah
[Verse 3]
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 a well
Oh things were quiet then
In a way they were the better days
But now I am the proudest monkey
You ever seen
Monkey see, monkey do, yeah
[Verse 4]
Monkey see, monkey do
Monkey see, monkey do monkey
