Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye
Huggin' up a big monkey man
Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye
Huggin' up a big monkey man
[Verse 2]
I never saw ya, I only heard of ya
Huggin' up a big monkey man
I never saw ya, I only heard of ya
Huggin' up a big monkey man
[Verse 3]
It's your lie, it's your lie
Huggin' up a big monkey man
It's your lie, it's your lie
Huggin' up a big monkey man
[Verse 4]
Now I know that, now I understand
Huggin' up a big monkey man
Now I know that, now I understand
Huggin' up a big monkey man
[Verse 5]
Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye
Huggin' up a big monkey man
Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye
Huggin' up a big monkey man
[Verse 6]
Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye
Huggin' up a big monkey man
[Verse 7]
I never saw ya, I only heard of ya
Huggin' up a big monkey man
I never saw ya, I only heard of ya
Huggin' up a big monkey man
[Verse 8]
It's your lie, it's your lie
Huggin' up a big monkey man
Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye
Huggin' up a big monkey man
[Verse 9]
Hoo
