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
