There's a monkey swingin' high up in a tree
And I see that monkey starin' right at me
With a worried look, whatever could it be
That the monkey would be thinkin' as he looks at me?

At my feet I spy a gator strollin' by
With a hungry look in his alligator eyes
And the monkey cries, "Hey, you gotta get away
Or you're gonna be an alligator's lunch today!"

C'mon an' swing in my tree
Grab a branch and swing with me
It's monkey do as monkey see
You can split my banana split with me
In my banana tree
C'mon an' swing in my tree

So, I climb up high with the monkey in the tree
And the gator sighs, "Guys don't be scared of me
But I wonder Mister Monkey could it be
you would split a bit of your banana split with me?"

C'mon an' swing in my tree
Grab a branch and swing with me
It's monkey do as monkey see
You can split my banana split with me
In my banana tree
C'mon an' swing in my tree

Now the alligator's jumpin' up and down
Climbin' up the tree and swingin' all around
Says the monkey most enthusiastically,
"I have never seen an alligator in a tree!"

C'mon an' swing in my tree
Grab a branch and swing with me
It's monkey do as monkey see
You can split my banana split with me
In my banana tree
C'mon an' swing in my tree
Oh, what fun it will be
C'mon an' swing in my tree
