The moon is bright above

Oh, what a night for love
                    Dm
And as I hold you near
G                    G7
I whisper in your ear

I go ape every time I see you smile
F               C
I'm a ding dong gorilla and I'll carry you cave man style

I'm gonna bump you on the head and love you all the while

                                           C
Well, I'm a monkey's uncle who's a cousin to a chimpanzee
F                            C
Like I was reeling and a rocking and a swinging from a coconut tree
G              F                 C                        G7
Oh, honey, can't you see you bring out the monkey business in me?

Ranga tanga ring ting tong
                   C
I'm related to old King Kong
               F
Honey, won't you say you're mine?

With a honky tonky monkey shine
G             F
When you hold my hand I'm a pre-historic man
C                     G7
I go ape

[Verse]

Like a barrel on monkeys on an abadaba honeymoon
F                           C
I go squealing and a screechcing and a howling like a big baboon

Well, baby, I'll explode if you don't come and kiss me soon

I'll keep you in bananas and bring you coconuts, too
G                  F          C
And we'll settle down in the nearest county zoo
