(Arthur Fields and Walter Donovan)
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
They went upon their aba daba honeymoon
Way down in the congo land
Live a happy chimpanzee
She loved a monkey with a long tail
Lordy how she loved him
Each night he would find her there
Swingin' in the coconut tree
And the monkey gay
At the break of day
Like to hear he 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 they were happy and gay
Swingin' and singin' in their
Honky 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
They went upon their aba daba honeymoon
One night they were made man and wife
And now they cry this is the life
Since they came from their aba daba honeymoon
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 they were happy and gay
Swingin' and singin' in their
Honky 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
They went upon their aba daba honeymoon
Then the big baboon one night in June
He married them and very soon
They went upon their aba daba honey
Aba daba aba daba
Aba daba honeymoon...
