Recorded by Brad Wolfe (AKA Hank Malcolm)
Monkey see, monkey do
You hurt me and I'll hurt you
I wouldn't be the least bit surprised
If we already monkeyed around too long now
You run around, I run around
Run around, fun around all around town
I wouldn't be the least bit surprised
If we found that our love was gone now
Like a monkey on a vine
You swing your way, I'm swingin' mine
This monkey business is drivin' us
Out of our tree for two
Let's take a look around, take a look around
See if we can find
The love we left behind
Playin' Monkey See, Monkey Do
Sometime, somewhere, someone hurt somebody
Somehow I can't recall, can you?
How it all began
I don't think you can
Funny how one little thing can lead to another
And another and another and another
Drive two people away from each other
Sometime, somewhere, someone hurt somebody
Somehow I can't recall, can you?
How it all began
I don't think you can
Funny how one little thing can lead to another
And another and another and another
Drive two people away from each other
Like a monkey on a vine
You swing your way, I'm swingin' mine
This monkey business is drivin' us
Out of our tree for two
Let's take a look around, take a look around
See if we can find
The love we left behind
Playin' Monkey See, Monkey Do
Monkey see, monkey do
You hurt me and I'll hurt you
I wouldn't be the least bit surprised
If we already monkeyed around too long now...
