The crazy monkey dance

Duane Lajoie

Take a chance
Take a chance
Do the crazy monkey dance
Beat your chest and jump and holler
Climb a tree like a bird caller
Share bananas with a scholar
Do the crazy monkey dance

It is good exercise
It is good exercise
It is good exercise
It is good exercise

Take a chance
Take a chance
Do the crazy monkey dance
Beat your chest and jump and holler
Climb a tree like a bird caller
Share bananas with a scholar
Do the crazy monkey dance

Take a chance
Take a chance
Do the crazy monkey dance
Beat your chest and jump and holler
Climb a tree like a bird caller
Share bananas with a scholar
Do the crazy monkey dance
