LYRICS

Ay ay ay, ay ay ay,
Tell you baby,
You huggin' up the big monkey man
You huggin' up the big monkey man
I've seen no sign of you, I've only heard that you huggin' up the big monkey man
I've seen no sign of you, I've only heard that you huggin' up the big monkey man
Is not lie, is not lie, them a tell me, you huggin' up the big monkey man
Is not lie, is not lie, them a tell me, you huggin' up the big monkey man

Now I know that, now I understand, you turnin' a monkey on me
Now I know that, now I understand, you turnin' a monkey on me
