You treat me just as if    I were a monkey in a cage   Your friends all think it's clever    They think it's the latest rage.      They point at me behind my back    And say now ain't that cute   But when you get home tonight    You'll find your monkey's flew the coop.      And I'll be walkin' the dog    A livin' high on the hog    Blowin' goin' roarin' every night   You'll find me struttin' my strut    Yes, I'll be cuttin' the rug   Don't wait up    'Cause your monkey won't be home tonight.      --- Instrumental ---      Whatever suits you fancy    It's why you think I should do   Jump up and down    Turn round and round.      And then jump through the hoop   But I should swing from limb to limb    So everyone can see   Well, I may do some swingin'    But it won't be from a tree.      And I'll be walkin' the dog    A livin' high on the hog    Blowin' goin' roarin' every night   You'll find me struttin' my strut    Yes, I'll be cuttin' the rug   Don't wait up    'Cause your monkey won't be home tonight.      Don't wait up    'Cause your monkey won't be home tonight...
