Verse 1:
 
C 
You treat me just as if I were a monkey in a cage 
                                                              G 
Your friends all think it's clever they think it's the latest rage 
     C                              F 
They point at me behind my back and say now ain't that cute 
         C                                     G                 C 
But when you get home tonight you'll find your monkey's flew the coop 


           G                        C 
And I'll be walkin' the dog a livin' high on the hog 
G                                 C 
Makin' all the nightspots left to right 
              G                              C 
You'll find me struttin' my strot yes I'll be cuttin' the rug 
              F                 G               C 
Don't wait up cause your monkey won't be home tonight

Verse 1:
 
C 
Whatever suits you fancy it's why you think I should do 
                                                            G 
Jump up and down turn round and round then jump through the hoop 
    C                                   F 
But I should swing from limb to limb so everyone can see 
      C                             G               C 
Well, I may do some swingin' but it won't be from a tree 


           G                        C 
And I'll be walkin' the dog a livin' high on the hog 
G                                 C 
Makin' all the nightspots left to right 
              G                              C 
You'll find me struttin' my strot yes I'll be cuttin' the rug 
              F                 G               C 
Don't wait up cause your monkey won't be home tonight 
              F                 G               C     C 
Don't wait up cause your monkey won't be home tonight
