Lyrics
The Junior Jam Monkey Man Band
words and music by Mike Lemise

Well, we're rocking and rolling with Mike the Monkey Man.
Yeah, we're singing our songs, playing all over this land.
Oh, we play anywhere.
In the Junior Jam Monkey Man Band!
I can play the guitar strumming it with my hands.
Or I can play the drums, just like playing pots and pans.
Yeah, we play anything.
In the Junior Jam Monkey Man Band!
Oh everybody knows that I like to play kazoo.
And I hope you know that I like to play it, too.
We play the best that we can
In the Junior Jam Monkey Man Band.
Monkey, monkey, monkey, monkey, monkey man!
We're the Junior Jam Monkey Man Band.
We're the Junior Jam Monkey Man Band.
We're the Junior Jam Monkey Monkies
Come on children clap your hands!
We're the Junior Jam Monkey Monkies
In the Junior Jam Monkey Man Band!
Well, if you want to see a show that'll knock you out of your seat,
Make you clap your hands, dance, smile and tap your feet,
You'd better make some plans
To see the Junior Jam Monkey Man Band.
Monkey, monkey, monkey, monkey, monkey man!
We're the Junior Jam Monkey Man Band.
We're the Junior Jam Monkey Man Band.
We're the Junior Jam Monkey Monkies
Come on children clap your hands!
We're the Junior Jam Monkey Monkies
In the Junior Jam Monkey Man Band!
