Lyrics:

Way down in the Congoland
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 there were happy and gay
Swinging and singing in their hunky-monkey 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

Well, you should have heard that band
Play upon their wedding day
Each Chimp and Monkey had nutshells
Lordy, how they played them

And now it is every night
High up in the coconut tree
It's the same old thing
With the same old swing
When the Monk and Chimpie sing

Aba daba daba daba daba daba dab
Said the Chimpie to the Monk
Ooh-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Said the Monkey to the Chimp

All night long they'd chatter away
All day long there were happy and gay
Swinging and singing in their hunky-monkey way

Aba daba daba daba doodly daba dab
Means "Monk, I love but you"
Baba daba dab in monkey talk
Means "Chimp, I love you, too"

And one day when both made man and wife
They shouted out "This am the life"
Returning from their aba daba honeymoon
