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

Way down in the Congo Land
Lived a happy chimpanzee
She loved a monkey with a long tail
(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, 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 they 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 they 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

Then the big baboon, one night in June
He married them, and very soon
They went upon their aba, daba honeymoon
