Swing
In the tree
And me I am bounce around so well
Branch to branch
Limb to limb you see
All in a day's dream
I am stuck like the other monkeys here
Oh, me, I am a humble monkey
Laying back in my tree again
But then came the day
When I climbed out from these safe limbs
Walking tall, I'm a go far from here
I went to the city
Car horns, corners and the gritty
And me, now, I am the proudest monkey
You ever seen
Monkey see, monkey do, yeah
Monkey see, monkey do, yeah
Somewhere along the way
I must say
I feel as if I've been turned around
Oh, good fortune has come my way
And I think (left?)
I've had good good times
All my friends
Sometimes, sometimes
I think about those safe, warm limbs
And I'd like to crawl back up in that tree again
Up there with my humble monkey friends
(Scatting)
All up, up, up does that (scatting)
But, no, I am the proudest monkey that you ever seen
Monkey see, monkey do, yeah

Proudest Monkey
main lyrics
Swing in this tree
oh, I am bounce around so well
branch to branch, limb to limb, you see
all in a day's dream
I am stuck like the other monkeys here
I am a humble monkey
sitting up in here again
But then came the day
I climbed out of these safe limbs
ventured away
walking tall, head high up and singing
I went to the city
car horns, corners, and the gritty
now I am the proudest monkey
you ever seen
monkey see, monkey do, yeah
Then comes the day
staring at myself, I turn to question me
I wonder, do I want the simple, simple life
that I once lived in a way?
oh, things were quiet then
in a way they were the better days
but now I am the proudest monkey
you ever seen
monkey see, monkey do, yeah
Monkey see, monkey do [x22]
