Monkeys
Eskimo Joe

Leave the Monkeys at home
Get out of their face
Leave them alone

Cute as Monkeys may be
Weren't meant to be kept
In captivity

:CHORUS:
I like the zoo but it's time to give something back to
Monkeys and Tigers and Beavers and all that kind of stuff

Them into a cage
They'll sit there and age
If they don't die of boredom
Hey they'll break free one day
There'll be hell to pay
So maybe we oughta
