Leave the monkeys at home
Get out of their face
Leave them alone
Cute as monkeys may be
Weren't meant to be kept
In captivity
Chorus
I like the zoo but it's time to give something back to
Monkeys and tigers and beavers and all that kind of stuff
Them into a cage
They'll sit there and age
If they don't die of boredom
Hey they'll break free one day
There'll be hell to pay
So maybe we oughta
Chorus
