Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab
Said the chimpie to the monk
Baba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab
Said the monkey to the chimp
All night long they'd chatter away
All day long there were happy and gay
Swinging and singing in their hunky tonky way
Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab
Means: monk, I love but you
Baba, daba, dab' in monkey talk
Means: chimp, I love you, too
Then the big baboon one night in June
He married them and very soon
Since they came from their aba daba honeymoon
Way down in the Congoland
Lived a happy chimpanzee
She loved a monkey with long tail
(Lordy, how she loved him)
Each night he would find her there
Swinging in the coconut tree
And the monkey gay at the break of day
Loved to hear his chimpie say
Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab
Said the chimpie to the monk
Baba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab
Said the monkey to the chimp
All night long they'd chatter away
All day long there were happy and gay
Swinging and singing in their hunky tonky way
Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab
Means: Monk, I love but you
Baba, daba, dab in monkey talk
Means: Chimp, I love you, too
One night they were made man and wife
And now they cry: This is the life
Since they came from their aba daba honey
Aba, daba, daba
Aba, daba honeymoon
