Song Lyrics

DrSns : One Monday morning I got up late
And there were these monkeys outside the gate.
The guard tried to stop them but he had no luck
The monkeys got free and they ran amuck!

DrSns : I don't know what to say the monkeys won't do!
YW+D : Don't know what to say the monkeys won't do!
DrSns : I don't know what to say the monkeys won't do!
YW+D : Don't know what to say the monkeys won't do!

DrSns : My office was run by the studio nurse.
I came downstairs und what could be worse?
The monkeys was doing a crazy dance.
They put buggies in my underpants!

DrSns : I don't know what to say the monkeys won't do!
YW+D : Don't know what to say the monkeys won't do!
DrSns : Monkeys dance then I dance too!
YW+D : Don't know what to say the monkeys won't do!

DrSns : I ran outside to get a stick
But I'm telling you, friends, those monkeys was quick!
'Cause when I returned, much to my disgrace
Those monkeys had the nurse in a mad embrace!

Nurse : I don't know what to say the monkeys won't do.
Yakko : For a nickel I'll give you a clue!
Dot : I didn't know your eyes were blue!
DrSns : I don't know what to say the monkeys won't do!

Marita: Yessah, whoo!
Flavio: Ah, play that thing!

DrSns : I went to me bath for a shower and shave.
The monkeys goin' to put me into my grave!
The entire bathroom was laid to waste
And they shaved my head with minty toothpaste!

DrSns : I don't know what to say the monkeys won't do!
YW+D : Don't know what to say the monkeys won't do!
DrSns : They is crazy-nutzo, I'm telling you!
YW+D : Don't know what to say the monkeys won't do!

DrSns : Then by this time I was feeling dread
They was using a shoe brush to shine me head.
I asked them to leave but they stayed around.
They pulled the chain and yee! I went down!

DrSns : I don't know what to say the monkeys won't do!
YW+D : Don't know what to say the monkeys won't do!
DrSns : Call my lawyer; I'm ready to sue!
YW+D : Don't know what to say the monkeys won't do!
DrSns : Aaaaaaaaaa!

Marita: Yessah, brother!

DrSns : Well me patience ran out and I'm telling you sure
Tomorrow I show those monkeys the door!
And if they don't leave I'm inviting you
To my house for dumplings and monkey stew!

DrSns : I don't know what to say the monkeys won't do!
YW+D : Don't know what to say the monkeys won't do!
DrSns : Now I'm in the stew. -- Oh, poo.
YW+D : Don't know what to say the monkeys won't do!

DrSns : Watch out for monkeys, I'm telling you!
YWDF+M: Don't know what to say the monkeys won't do!
YW+D : We're not monkeys; we're just cuckoo!
YWDF+M: Don't know what to say the Warners won't do!
