I woke up this morning,
And I looked all around
I was looking for my monkey,
My monkey couldn't be found

I called the police department,
Put out an AP
So if you find my monkey,
Send her on home to me

Who stole my monkey, my monkey, my monkey?
Somebody stole my monkey, stole my monkey from me
Who stole my monkey, my monkey, my monkey?
Somebody stole that funky ole monkey from me

So I moved to California,
Way down in Hollywood
I got a brand new monkey
And we was doing real good
Standing on the corner,
Singing a monkey grinding song
When the next thing I new,
Somebody played me for a fool
She took my money and was long gone

Bridge:

My monkey got a cue ball head,
She got a good attitude
And them long skinny legs
When we get back to the motel room,
The way she shakes her tail
It makes my heart go boom, boom, boom
