The moon is bright above

Oh, what a night for love

And as I hold you near

I whisper in your ear I go ape every time I see you smile

I'm a ding dong gorilla and I'll carry you cave man style

I'm gonna bump you on the head and love you all the while Well, I'm a monkey's uncle who's a cousin to a chimpanzee

Like I was reelin' and a rockin' and a swingin' from a coconut tree

Oh, honey can't you see you bring out the monkey business in me Ranga tanga ring ting tong, I'm related to old King Kong

Honey won't you say you're mine

With a honky tonky monkey shine

When you hold my hand I'm a pre-historic man, I go ape! Like a barrel on monkeys on an abadaba honeymoon

I go squealin' and a screechin' and a howlin' like a big baboon

Well baby I'll explode if you don't come and kiss me soon, yae yaa Ohh, honey you know that I'm gonna be true to you

I'll keep you in bananas and bring you coconuts too

And we'll settle down in the nearest county zoo, woh Ranga tanga ring ting tong, I'm related to old King Kong, woo

Honey won't you say you're mine

With a honky tonky monkey shine

When you hold my hand I'm a pre-historic man, I go ape!
