Witch Doctor
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Ooo eee, oo ah ah, ting tang, walla walla bing bang
Ooo eee, oo ah ah, ting tang, walla walla bing bang
You want to learn something
That I can teach you.
You want to know a
Secret that I swear is true.
Monkeys, we have more fun than
Humans ever do.
Ooo eee, oo ah ah, ting tang, walla walla bing bang
Ooo eee, oo ah ah, ting tang, walla walla bing bang
We learn to climb and swing
Before we learn to run.
We like to party and there is
Room for everyone
Come join us if you really want
To have some fun
Ooo eee, oo ah ah, ting tang, walla walla bing bang
Ooo eee, oo ah ah, ting tang, walla walla bing bang
You never see us tired
'cause we are too smart for workin'.
A monkey knows a lot more than a man.
We love swinging in the trees
And eating our bananas.
Don't you know we never need a plan.
We never worry we just
Eat, and sleep and play.
That's how we make the most of
Each and every day.
If you want to be a monkey then
this is what you say¡
Ooo eee, oo ah ah, ting tang, walla walla bing bang
Ooo eee, oo ah ah, ting tang, walla walla bing bang
Humans always seem to have their
backs a little twisted, and make
the monkey get on in the tree.
But if you could look at the life
in the same way the monkey see it,
maybe you'd be over here with me.
Ooo eee, oo ah ah, ting tang, walla walla bing bang
Ooo eee, oo ah ah, ting tang, walla walla bing bang
