🎵 MONKEY BUSINESS (Verse 1) There’s a fever in the treetops, moon’s burning bright Jungle drums poundin’ in the heat of the night Macaques at the bar with a coconut brew Capuchins dancin’ in a conga or two Bananas rain down from the canopy high Parrots squawkin’ gossip as the lovers swing by The vines keep swayin’ to that midnight song ‘Cause the party in the jungle’s gonna rage all night long (Chorus) It’s monkey business — a bungle in the jungle tonight Laughin’ in the moonlight, fur flyin’ in the fight From vine to vine, they’re bangin’ that gong And shaggin’ in the treetops all night long It’s monkey business, baby — where the wild ones belong (Verse 2) Orangutan dealer with a blackjack hand Two lemurs makin’ trouble with a punk rock band A howler’s mixin’ drinks with a pineapple twist While a cheeky little spider monkey’s stealin’ a kiss Some swing for the thrill, some swing for the love Some just get tangled and fall from above Every branch is a dance floor, every leaf is a bed Every howl in the night’s got a smile in its stead (Chorus) It’s monkey business — a bungle in the jungle tonight Laughin’ in the moonlight, fur flyin’ in the fight From vine to vine, they’re bangin’ that gong And shaggin’ in the treetops all night long It’s monkey business, baby — where the wild ones belong (Bridge) Ohhh, the canopy shakes and the shadows play With a thousand little secrets till the break of day And when the sun peeks in through the smoky green They’re still tangled up where the world can’t be seen (Verse 3) Dawn’s rolling in but the beat don’t die Last night’s lovers wave as the swing-lines fly Another round of chaos, another sweet tune They’ll be back at it wild by the rise of the moon (Final Chorus) It’s monkey business — a bungle in the jungle tonight Laughin’ in the moonlight, fur flyin’ in the fight From vine to vine, they’re bangin’ that gong And shaggin’ in the treetops all night long It’s monkey business, baby — where the wild ones belong (Outro – tribal chant fade) “Hoo-hoo-ha-ha… hoo-hoo-ha-ha… swing it, swing it!”
