what can you do about the monkey?
well you know he can't be trained,
oh, he can learn some lovely tricks,
but he never can be tamed.

you can dress him up in a tux and tails,
but don't take him to the ball.
he just won't behave like he's supposed to do,
he doesn't get that scene at all.

so what can you do about the monkey?
you got to take him as he is,
and you know he'll always be there,
if you're a friend of his.

but the monkey does his own thing,
and he's always on the go.
yet he'll make you laugh and have some fun,
that's the way he is you know.
