Monkey and the baboon playin’ in the grass 
monkey says, “Baboon you play too fast”
Should’ve seen them jumpin’ from tree to tree 
playin’ hide an’ go seek with the chickadee

Monkey doodle-do, monkey doodle-do
If you try to make a monkey out of me 
I’ll make a baboon out of you

Doo doo doo doo doo doo, oodle doodle doodle doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo

The monkey and the baboon shootin’ crooked dice, monkey throwed seven ‘leven twice
Baboon got hasty an’ he swung in fas’, knocked the little monkey in the grass

Cryin’ monkey doodle-do, monkey doodle-do
If you try to make a monkey out of me, I’ll make a baboon out of you

Woo woo woo woo woo woo, woo woo woo woo
Wa woo wa woo wa woo wa woo, wa woo wao woo wa woo

The monkey an’ the baboon both catchin’ fleas, the monkey stayed happy caught ‘em big you see
He yelled, said, “Those insects are small!” As caught ‘em big as the cannon ball

Monkey doodle-do, monkey doodle-do
If you try to make a monkey out of me, I’ll make a baboon out of you

Doo doo doo doo doo doo, doo da doo doo doo doo doo
Doo da doo doo doo doo doo doo doo, doo da doo doo doo doo doo

The monkey an’ the baboon settin’ on the fence, monkey called the baboon to fatten his quench
Baboon set him back in his class, when he knocked him on his oh my, yes

Monkey doodle-do, monkey doodle-do
If you try to make a monkey out of me, I’ll make a baboon out of you

Woo woo woo woo, woo woo woo woo
Wa woo wa woo wa woo wa woo, woo woo woo woo woo

The monkey and the baboon playin’ in the grass, monkey stuck his finger in the baboon’s glass
Monkey got a stick an’ hit ‘im ‘cross the head, now the little monkey is sick in bed

Cryin’ monkey doodle-do, monkey doodle-do
If you try to make a monkey out of me, I’ll make a baboon out of you

Doo doo doo doo, doo da doo doo doo doo doo
Doo da doo doo doo doo doo doo doo, doo da doo doo doo doo doo

Monkey doodle-do, monkey doodle-do
If you try to make a monkey out of me I’ll make a baboon out of you
