Way down in the Congo land lived a happy chimpanzee
She loved a monkey with a long tail lordy how she loved him
Each night he would find her there swingin' in the coconut tree
And the monkey gay at the break of day loved to hear his chimpie say
Aba daba daba daba daba daba dab said the chimpie to the monk
Aba daba daba daba daba daba dab said the monkey to the chimp
All night long they'd chatter away all day long they were happy and gay
Swingin' and singin' in their honky tonky way
Aba daba daba daba daba daba dab means monk I love but you
Aba daba dab in monkey talk means chimp I love you too
Then the big baboon one night in June he married them and very soon
They went upon their aba daba honeymoon
