I was walkin down the street

Fell into a funky beat

Seemed like every one I meet

Did the funky monkey with their feet

Do the monkey, the funky monkey.x4

I was goin on my on my way

Seemed like a pretty normal day

But all the monkeys were out to play

Every body started to sway..

Do the monkey, the funky monkey.x4

Just when I turned on the TV

What do you think that I see?

All them monkeys looked like me

Getting funky, freaky and free!

Do the monkey, the funky monkey.x4

Once while i was on LSD

I took a trip up in a tree

Started hanging upside down, and said

There's a lot of monkeys in this town

When I got back on the ground

Thought I heard a funky sound

Oh those drums began to pound

And all the monkeys were dancin around

Do the monkey, the funky monkey.x4

Some are black and some are white

Some are dressed out of site

Everyone better hold on tight

We're doing the funky monkey tonight.
