MONKEY IN THE TRASH CAN
I was trying to sleep on that fateful night
When I heard a strange noise from outside
There was a crash, a bang, a boom, and a cry
When I looked out my window couldn’t believe my eyes
(chorus)
There was a monkey in
my trashcan
But I don’t know why
There was a monkey in my trashcan
But I don’t know why
My mama yelled, "Keep
down the noise"
"Go back sleep and put away your toys"
When I tried to explain she started to laugh
She said, "There can’t be a monkey inside our trash"
(chorus)
When I looked out my
window he was eating a banana
Around his neck he had a red bandana
People don’t believe my wild tale
But I swear there was a monkey in my garbage pail
(chorus)
Now here’s a little
advice for you
If you see a monkey, don’t monkey do
Playing in the trash is smelly Peewwuu
If you see the monkey don’t monkey do!
(chorus)
