Lonnie Johnson - Monkey And The Baboon (1930) lyrics

Monkey and the baboon playin’ in the grass, monkey says, “Baboon you play too fast.”

Should’ve seen them jumpin’ from tree to tree, playin’ hide an’ go seek with the chickadee.

Monkey doodle-do, monkey doodle-do.

If you try to make a monkey out of me, I’ll make a baboon out of you.

Doo doo doo doo doo doo, oodle doodle doodle doo doo.

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo.

The monkey and the baboon shootin’ crooked dice, monkey throwed seven ‘leven twice.

Baboon got hasty an’ he swung in fas’, knocked the little monkey in the grass.

Cryin’ monkey doodle-do, monkey doodle-do.

If you try to make a monkey out of me, I’ll make a baboon out of you.

Woo woo woo woo woo woo, woo woo woo woo.

Wa woo wa woo wa woo wa woo, wa woo wao woo wa woo.

The monkey an’ the baboon both catchin’ fleas, the monkey stayed happy caught ‘em big you see.

He yelled, said, “Those insects are small!” As caught ‘em big as the cannon ball.

Monkey doodle-do, monkey doodle-do.

If you try to make a monkey out of me, I’ll make a baboon out of you.

Doo doo doo doo doo doo, doo da doo doo doo doo doo,

Doo da doo doo doo doo doo doo doo, doo da doo doo doo doo doo.

The monkey an’ the baboon settin’ on the fence, monkey called the baboon to fatten his quench.

Baboon set him back in his class, when he knocked him on his oh my, yes.

Monkey doodle-do, monkey doodle-do.

If you try to make a monkey out of me, I’ll make a baboon out of you.

Woo woo woo woo, woo woo woo woo.

Wa woo wa woo wa woo wa woo, woo woo woo woo woo.

The monkey and the baboon playin’ in the grass, monkey stuck his finger in the baboon’s glass.

Monkey got a stick an’ hit ‘im ‘cross the head, now the little monkey is sick in bed.

Cryin’ monkey doodle-do, monkey doodle-do.

If you try to make a monkey out of me, I’ll make a baboon out of you.

Doo doo doo doo, doo da doo doo doo doo doo,

Doo da doo doo doo doo doo doo doo, doo da doo doo doo doo doo.

Monkey doodle-do, monkey doodle-do.

If you try to make a monkey out of me I’ll make a baboon out of you.
