Bb
Verse 1
Eb
I was there on the day the monkey
Ab
Eb
came into this world
His face was round and reddish
F
Bb
and his hair was slightly curled
Ab
Eb
He didn't look too different from
G
Cm
the others I had seen
Who'd- a- thought he was the
Eb
answer to the nation's dream?
Verse 2
Ab
At first he didn't seem
Eb
to be intelligent at all
Ab
Each time he'd start to walk about
Eb
Bb
he'd stumble and he'd fall
Ab
My first impression was to be
Eb
Cm
a most mistaken thought
Lord a'mighty, what's this little
hairy monkey wrought?
Eb
Verse 3
Because I witnessed his departure
Ab
Eb
from his mother's womb
I felt inclined to check his progress
F
Bb
every afternoon
Ab
Eb
One day the keeper of the zoo
G
Cm
called in the live TV
Frankly said, "I think you'll be
amazed at what you see"
Eb
Verse 4
Ab
The monkey walked and talked
Eb
and waved his arms about his head
Ab
In the corner was the stack
Eb
Bb
of books that he had read
Ab
"An Educated Monkey!",
Eb
Cm
said the papers 'cross the land
It was more than weary
sociologists could stand
Eb
Verse 5
Oh, his fame was universal,
Ab
Eb
he was on the Carson show
People talked about him kindly
F
Bb
everywhere he'd go
Ab
Eb
His insight was amazing,
G
Cm
his philosophy was fair
He became a politician
welcome everywhere
Eb
Verse 6
Ab
His wit was not to be compared
Eb
with any mind intact
Ab
He'd lace a phrase with irony
Eb
Bb
and blend it all with fact
Ab
Conservatives applauded and the lib
Eb
Cm
erals were entranced
The bigots and the integrationists were
in his camp
Eb
Verse 7
Nobody dared to meet him
Ab
in an open press debate
F
Bb
the folks from every state
Ab
Eb
Yes, a monkey was the President,
G
Cm
though maybe not the first
And there was peace and harmony
throughout the universe
Eb
Verse 8
Ab
The dream I had last night
Eb
has been related as it came
Ab
As for interpretation, well,
Eb
Bb
it's really very plain
Ab
Eb
Would you rather have a monkey up in Washington,
Cm
D.C.
Or have those people making

monkeys out of you and me?
