In the city park, on a sunny afternoon There’s a crazy scene that makes you wanna swoon A group of folks, they’re gathered 'round Making such a racket, you’d think the zoo’s in town Oh, they’re hollering, they’re hooting, like a wild parade Over something trivial, you’d think it’s a charade Monkey see, monkey do, acting like a zoo Shouting out those insults, making such a brew Swinging from their words, throwing tantrums too They’re all just a bunch of monkeys, and they haven’t got a clue It started with a comment, just a little thing But it turned into chaos, like a broken spring Now they’re jumping, they’re screeching, throwing verbal stones It’s a madhouse in the park, and it chills you to the bones Oh, they’re hollering, they’re hooting, like a wild parade Over something trivial, you’d think it’s a charade Monkey see, monkey do, acting like a zoo Shouting out those insults, making such a brew Swinging from their words, throwing tantrums too They’re all just a bunch of monkeys, and they haven’t got a clue Monkey see, monkey do, acting like a zoo Shouting out those insults, making such a brew Swinging from their words, throwing tantrums too They’re all just a bunch of monkeys, and they haven’t got a clue Can’t they see the madness, the absurdity? Making such a fuss, it’s insanity Over petty nonsense, they’ve lost their grace Turning into monkeys, in this public space Monkey see, monkey do, acting like a zoo Shouting out those insults, making such a brew Swinging from their words, throwing tantrums too They’re all just a bunch of monkeys, and they haven’t got a clue Monkey see, monkey do, acting like a zoo Shouting out those insults, making such a brew Swinging from their words, throwing tantrums too They’re all just a bunch of monkeys, in this public space They’re all just a bunch of monkeys, and they haven’t got a clue So if you see them gathered, causing such a scene Just remember, people can be so obscene It’s a funny sight, but it’s sad and true Sometimes we’re just like monkeys, doing what we do
