Aba Daba Honeymoon

Way down in the Congoland

Lived a happy chimpanzee

She loved a monkey with long tail

(Lordy, how she loved him)

Each night he would find her there

Swinging in the cocoanut tree

And the monkey gay

At the break of day

Loved to hear his 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 there were happy and gay

Swinging and singing in their hunky-tonkey 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

"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 there were happy and gay

Swinging and singing in their hunky-tonkey 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"

One night they were made man and wife

And now they cry, "This is the life"

Since they came from their aba, daba honeymoon

Well, you should have heard that band

Play upon their wedding day

Each Chimp and Monkey had nutshells

(Lordy, how they played them)

And now it is ev'ry night

High up in the cocoanut tree

It's the same old thing

With the same old swing

When the Monk and Chimpie sing

"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 there were happy and gay

Swinging and singing in their hunky-tonkey 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

"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 there were happy and gay

Swinging and singing in their hunky-tonkey 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"

One night they were made man and wife

And now they cry, "This is the life"

Since they came from their aba, daba honeymoon
