Hello, hello Mister Monkey
You're still so fast and funky
Hello, hello Mister Monkey
You should have been a clown
Once he was so famous
That little old clown
Everybody used to know his name
Now he's a nameless but happy old guy
The children laugh if only he goes by
Hello, hello Mister Monkey
You're still so fast and funky
Hello, hello Mister Monkey
You should have been a clown
When the sun is shining
He goes to the park
Climbs the empty bandstand
On the green, doing for me children
His famous routine
So they still laugh
When slowly he walks home
Hello, hello Mister Monkey
You're still so fast and funky
Hello, hello Mister Monkey
You should have been a clown
