You better stop your monkeying around
(Monkey, monkey, monkey...)

I, I don't mind dancing the Monkey
You are fine, dancing the Monkey

When the dance is over
You become a rover
Why must you make
A monkey out of me

If you're gonna mess around
(You better stop)
I'm putting you down
(You better stop)
I don't wanna be your clown
(You better stop) oh

You better stop your monkeying around
(Monkey, monkey, monkey...)

When you start doing your cheating
Then my heart is taking a beating
The way you keep on playing
You're gonna hear me saying
?

If you're gonna mess around
(You better stop)
I'm putting you down
(You better stop)
I don't wanna be your clown
(You better stop) oh

You better stop your monkeying around
(Monkey, monkey, monkey...)

When the dance is over
You become a rover
Why must you make
A monkey out of me

If you're gonna mess around
(You better stop)
I'm putting you down
(You better stop)
I don't wanna be your clown
(You better stop) oh

You better stop your monkeying around
(Monkey, monkey, monkey...)
