17 Naked Monkeys
Ab, 118 bpm
Man is the greatest ape of all...

The monkeys are naked, but they don’t care
They don't prize ribbons or put bows in their hair
Born naked they stay naked
while they just sing songs to one another
swinging through the trees
Their buddy's naked, that's no surprise, it's OK
Won't don on no lame disguise
if it won't help the tribe grow
it's has no kind of a peel
that's helpful for survival today

I love the monkey monkey hey hey hey
your life's a funky fun getaway

Hello to you Mr. No Shoes
We all love to look at you
With fuzzy fingers, flattened nose
and gripping toes, curly tail
Swinging climbing, off you go.
Got Gripping gadgets on all extensions
Like that grabbing tail, such grand prehensions
You're moving so gracefully, hands reach out for the thrill
so fit for your survival you squeal
<CH>

You turn a frown and now my face it glows
with the monkey way
cause you're a pro at making tensions go
and love to stay
You turn around on hands and feet all fours
your language shows
we're distant brothers gone our chosen routes
along our family tree
V3
We're naked monkeys and us the most
Our hairless bodies show our fears as we boast
we've covered them most creatively
as we've grown in years away from the trees
We're naked monkeys, open your eyes, it's OK
There's nothing to despise
beneath the clothes we're wearing
studied behavior reveals
We're merely proud pretentious primates
CH
We are the monkey monkeys Hey Hey Hey
Our Life's a funky fun getaway
OUTRO
We love the sun, we love to play
and we all crave a getaway
We love to climb the rocks and trees
and hug the ground on hands and knees
I'll go out on a limb to say
I'm proud to be of the monkey way
not hard to see, our friends have shown
that maybe we're not so alone
