(Chorus) 
Hello, hello Mister Monkey 
You're still so fast and funky 
Hello, hello Mister Monkey 
You should have been a clown 
Once he was so famous, that little old clown 
Everybody used to know his name 
Now he's a nameless but happy old guy 
The children laugh if only he goes by 
(Chorus) 
When the sun is shining, he goes to the park 
Climbs the empty bandstand on the green 
Doing for the children his famous routine 
So they still laugh when slowly he walks home 
Hello, hello Mister Monkey 
You're still so fast and funky 
Hello, hello Mister Monkey 
You should have been a clown 
(Chorus)
