[Verse 1]
Dm                                        C
Once he was so famous, that little old clown
Bb              A                       Dm
Everybody used to know his name
Dm                                 C
Now he's a nameless but happy old guy
        Bb                            A
The children laugh if only he goes by

[Chorus]
Dm                        C
Hello, hello Mister Monkey
C                              Dm
You're still so fast and funky
Dm                        C
Hello, hello Mister Monkey
C                            Dm
You should have been a clown

[Instrumental]
Dm  Dm  Am  Am

[Chorus]
Dm                        C
Hello, hello Mister Monkey
C                              Dm
You're still so fast and funky
Dm                        C
Hello, hello Mister Monkey
C                            Dm
You should have been a clown

[Verse 2]
Dm                                        C
When the sun is shining, he goes to the park
Bb              A                       Dm
Climbs the empty bandstand on the green
Dm                                 C
Doing for the children his famous routine
      Bb                                      A
So they still laugh when slowly he walks home

[Chorus]
Dm                        C
Hello, hello Mister Monkey
C                              Dm
You're still so fast and funky
Dm                        C
Hello, hello Mister Monkey
C                            Dm
You should have been a clown

Hello, hello Mister Monkey
C                              Dm
You're still so fast and funky
Dm                        C
Hello, hello Mister Monkey
C                            Dm
You should have been a clown
