Lyrics:

(Chorus): 'Aba daba daba daba daba daba dab' means
'Monk, I love but you'
'Aba daba dab,' in monkey talk,
Means 'Chimp, I love you too'
Then the big baboon, one night in June
He married them, and very soon,
They went upon their aba daba honeymoon
Way down in the Congo land,
Lived a happy chimpanzee
She loved a monkey,
with a long tail,
Lordy, how she loved him!
Each night he would find her there,
Swinging in the coconut tree
And the monkey, gay
At the break of day,
Loved to hear his chimp-y say:
'Aba daba daba daba daba daba daba'
Said the chimp-y to the monk
'Aba daba daba daba daba daba daba'
Said the monkey to the chimp
All night long, they'd chatter away,
All day long they were happy and gay
Swingin' and singin' in a honky-tonky way
'Aba daba daba daba daba daba daba' means:
'Monk, I love but you'
'Aba daba dab,' in monkey talk, means:
'Chimp, I love you too'
Then the big baboon, one night in June
He married them, and very soon
They went upon their aba daba honeymoon
(Faster): 'Aba daba daba daba daba daba daba'
Said the chimp-y to the monk
'Aba daba daba daba daba daba daba'
Said the monkey to the chimp
All night long, they'd chatter away
All day long they were happy and gay
Swingin' and singin' in a honky-tonky way
'Aba daba daba daba daba daba daba' means:
'Monk, I love but you'
'Aba daba daba,' in monkey talk, means:
'Chimp, I love you too'
Then the big baboon, one night in June
He married them, and very soon
They went upon their aba daba honeymoon
Then the big baboon, one night in June,
He married them, and very soon
They went upon their aba daba honey . . .
Aba daba, aba daba, aba daba honeymoon
A-honeymoon!
