My master plays and organ and holds me by a chain
And when I pick the money up he makes me entertain
Even though I dance and leap I miss my family
I wish I were in monkey land where I can be free
I wish I were in monkey land where I can be free
The coconuts are growing, they're delectable to eat
I used to climb and pick them off and eat them with my feet
I miss the place I love so much oh how I do declare
How nice it is in monkey land I wish that I was there
How nice it is in monkey land I wish that I was there
I wonder what to do I think I'll make a plan
If I'm smart and do it right I'll vanish from this man
Here's my chance here I go I must disappear
I'm going now to monkey land and I'm very near
So here I am in monkey land and I love that I'm here
