Monkey wants bananas
Twice a year the summer
Monkey wants a recess
And a time to rest
Monkey wants a pillow
To sleep under a ceiling
Monkey wants no sweating
To deserve what it wishes
Oh, full time cynical
CHORUS
Lift your ass up from the chair
And do the twist
'Cause the music ain't dancing itself
Keep your head above the water
And do the swim
There's no gift sprouting under your tree
Monkey wants a donut
Extra cream and meringue
Monkey wants it easy
And it wants it faster
Monkey wants a Corona
That fancy beer from Mexico
Monkey bets on the horses
Working hard is for losers
Oh, full time worthless
CHORUS
Lift your ass up from the chair
And do the twist
'Cause the music ain't dancing itself
Keep your head above the water
And do the swim
There's no gift sprouting under your tree
