Them Monkeys at the Zoo



I went on down to the Audubon Zoo,
and they ALL asked for you.
The monkeys asked, the lions asked, and the hyenas...
well they asked me too.
Now ordinarily, I wouldn't pay any attention
to any of the things they do
But as they say, to much dismay,
Like monkey see, like monkey do.
What I'm talking about, you probably have no clue
And that's also probably why they smelled like poo.
And yet... your walking funny.
