We've come to play, and eat bananas. There's no need to be scared of us.
Watch us run and swing from tree branches, we've got no plans.
Evolving from centuries of primates, see our intelligence.
Never a dull moment in the life of a monkey.
Crazy days of being watched by humans.
The zoo is merely a vacation for us.
Seems so crazy that we've been caged by man.
Let's hope they don't decide to eat us like cattle.
The lives of us monkeys is a battle for animal's rank.
Peeling open bananas is like having a gourmet meal prepared.
Feel our palms as we stand before you and put on a show for all.
The fleas on our back bite us and suck out our blood for dinner.
We live in the forest, but our ancestors have no real home.
Living in the wild is naturally our utopia as we screech.
Take our picture and put it in the magazine.
We have no fear of the cameraman.
Put us in the circus, show us fame.
We live for the moment.
Monkey business .
