You treat me just as if i were a monkey in a cage
Your friends all think it's clever they think it's the latest rage
They point at me behind my back and say now ain't that cute
But when you get home tonight you'll find your monkey's flew the coop

And i'll be walkin' the dog a livin' high on the hog
Makin' all the nightspots left to right
You'll find me struttin' my strot yes i'll be cuttin' the rug
Don't wait up cause your monkey won't be home tonight

Whatever suits you fancy it's why you think i should do
Jump up and down turn round and round then jump through the hook
But i should swing from limb to limb so everyone can see
Well i may do some swingin' but it won't be from a tree

And i'll be walkin' the dog a livin' high on the hog...
Don't wait up cause your monkey won't be home tonight
