The moon is bright above Oh, what a night for love And as I hold you near I whisper in your ear I go ape every time I see you smile I'm a ding dong gorilla and I'll carry you cave man style I'm gonna bump you on the head and love you all the while Well, I'm a monkey's uncle who's a cousin to a chimpanzee Like I was reeling and a rocking and a swinging from a coconut tree Oh, honey, can't you see you bring out the monkey business in me? Ranga tanga ring ting tong I'm related to old King Kong Honey, won't you say you're mine? With a honky tonky monkey shine When you hold my hand I'm a pre-historic man I go ape Like a barrel on monkeys on an abadaba honeymoon I go squealing and a screechcing rand a howling like a big baboon Well, baby, I'll explode if you don't come and kiss me soon Yeah!
