Zoom zoom goes the
monkey to the moon
Zoom zoom goes the
monkey to the moon
High high goes the lion in the sky
Zoom zoom goes a monkey to the moon
Watch that ape man climb
Sure has a really good time
Too proud of his primate soul
And the powers that he
can't control
Never worked in a factory
Happy swinging from tree to tree
And then
Zoom zoom went the
monkey to the moon
Zoom zoom went the
monkey to the moon
High high goes the lion in the sky
Zoom zoom goes the
monkey to the moon
The king of all the cows
Is honest as the day is long
But the reason won't seem so clear
When you're watching him disappear
Never worked in a factory
Happy swinging from tree to tree
And then zoom zoom
Never worked in a factory
Happy swinging from tree to tree
And then zoom zoom
Zoom zoom
Zoom zoom
Save me a place in outer
space
Won't you save me a place in outer space
Save me a place in outer
space
Won't you save a place in outer space
Save me a place in outer
space
Won't you save a place in outer space
