The moon is bright above   Oh, what a night for love   And as I hold you near   I whisper in your ear      I go ape every time I see you smile   I'm a ding dong gorilla and I'll carry you cave man style   I'm gonna bump you on the head and love you all the while      Well, I'm a monkey's uncle who's a cousin to a chimpanzee   Like I was reelin' and a rockin' and a swingin' from a coconut tree   Oh, honey can't you see you bring out the monkey business in me      Ranga tanga ring ting tong, I'm related to old King Kong   Honey won't you say you're mine   With a honky tonky monkey shine   When you hold my hand I'm a pre-historic man, I go ape!      Like a barrel on monkeys on an abadaba honeymoon   I go squealin' and a screechin' and a howlin' like a big baboon   Well baby I'll explode if you don't come and kiss me soon, yae yaa      Ohh, honey you know that I'm gonna be true to you   I'll keep you in bananas and bring you coconuts too   And we'll settle down in the nearest county zoo, woh      Ranga tanga ring ting tong, I'm related to old King Kong, woo   Honey won't you say you're mine   With a honky tonky monkey shine   When you hold my hand I'm a pre-historic man, I go ape!
