~ Aba Daba Honeymoon ~

Way down in the Congo land
Lived a happy chimpanzee
She loved a monkey with a long tail
And Lordy, how she loved him.

Each night he would find her there
Swinging in the coconut tree
And the monkey gay at the break of day
Loved to hear his chimpie say:

Aba daba daba daba daba daba daba
Said the chimpie to the monk
Aba daba daba daba daba daba daba
Said the monkey to the chimp.

All night long they'd chatter away
All day long they were happy and gay
Swinging and singing in a
Honky Tonky way.

Aba daba daba daba daba daba daba
Means "Monk, I love but you"
Aba daba daba 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.
