Monkey with a tin cup
Monkey monkey monkey monkey
Monkey with a tin cup
Jamming on the corner, bustin’ all the moves
Everybody loves the way that little monkey grooves
Doesn’t ask for anything but a place to stand
Everybody loves that monkey’s funky one man band
They love the monkey with a tin cup
Everybody loves the monkey with a tin cup
Everybody tells the monkey
We love you monkey, don’t give up
But no one’s puttin’ anything in monkey’s little cup
Monkey had to get a day job, monkey needs to eat
Everybody’s missin’ monkey’s funky little beat
They miss the monkey with the tin cup
Everybody miss the monkey yeah with a tin cup
(Give it up give it up!)
Don’t be dissin’ the monkey
The monkey’s workin’ hard
Don’t be dissin’ the monkey
The monkey plays a mean guitar
Monkey with a tin cup
Everybody loves the monkey with a tin cup
