[Verse 1]
C
You treat me just as if I were a monkey in a cage
                                                              G
Your friends all think it's clever they think it's the latest rage
     C                              F
They point at me behind my back and say now ain't that cute
         C                                     G                 C
But when you get home tonight you'll find your monkey's flew the coop

[Chorus]
           G                        C
And I'll be walkin' the dog a livin' high on the hog
G                                 C
Makin' all the nightspots left to right
              G                              C
You'll find me struttin' my strot yes I'll be cuttin' the rug
              F                 G               C
Don't wait up cause your monkey won't be home tonight

[Verse 2]
C
Whatever suits you fancy it's why you think I should do
                                                            G
Jump up and down turn round and round then jump through the hoop
    C                                   F
But I should swing from limb to limb so everyone can see
      C                             G               C
Well, I may do some swingin' but it won't be from a tree

[Chorus]
           G                        C
And I'll be walkin' the dog a livin' high on the hog
G                                 C
Makin' all the nightspots left to right
              G                              C
You'll find me struttin' my strot yes I'll be cuttin' the rug
              F                 G               C
Don't wait up cause your monkey won't be home tonight
              F                 G               C     C
Don't wait up cause your monkey won't be home tonight
