Chorus:

D G D G
Living home on monkey island, baby
D G D G
Right in the middle of a zoo
D G D G
Living home on monkey island, baby
C A7
Pretend to be a monkey, too


Verse 1:

G Bb
Well, here I am on monkey island
G Bb
Hiding behind a rock
G Bb
I'm all dressed up with my monkey suit
C A7
Pretending to be something I'm not


(Chorus)


Verse 2:

G Bb
Well there's one thing about these monkeys, baby
G Bb
They don't know I'm around
G Bb
But that's pretty good, 'cause if they knew
C A7
They'll probably come and put me down


(Chorus)


Verse 3:

G Bb
With my paisley tie and my one button suit
G Bb
I'm about as close as I can get
G Bb
I guess I must be doing okay
G Bb
'Cause they haven't come and got me yet


(Chorus)

(End)
