Lyrics
M for Monkey
On a MONDAY MORNING, I MET MARVIN the MONKEY.
MARCHING to school to teach a MONKEY-SHINE class.
It's easy to be MERRY as a MERRY-GO-ROUND,
When you're MARCHING to MOUNTAIN MUSIC.
On MONDAY MORNING when professor MARVIN the MONKEY,
Taught his MONKEY-SHINES to MY 9:00 O'clock class,
In less than half a MOMENT he had everyone dancing,
And MARCHING to MOUNTAIN MUSIC.
M for MONKEY !
