Funky Monkey

How 'bout a banana?

Wait… Wait a minute

Ocean motion, crashin' caution, ships dips tips

As we sail the turbulant sea

Stomach stops churnin', with a pail o' dramamine

Yell sailor man, sailor man hands

Hands on deck, hands help the helmsman and

I sing and groove as the sea men move

Every poem's relay'n what the brave men do

I'm your lore man and your troubadour

Singing my thing, out in the evermore

Booty seeker, livin' adventure

Snap map, dig that treasure

Ooop…   Ooop…  Ooop…

What's that?

Dig it.  Dig it up

Ooop…

Dig it.  Dig it up

Funky Monkey

Read the sea chart, freed from black heart

Pirate papers lead us and speed our start

Sea skiff lands on, isle of the simian

Destination vegitation confrontation

Up down, grind the ground, seek the X

Where buccaneer's gold is bound to be found

Tangly trees, humid heat, soggy feet

They keep the beat and speed with the need

Back to the map in the pack that I'm wearing

The way I use the clues keep the beat on our bearings

A machete swingin' singin' bringin' branches down

Cuttin' a trail to the trove renouned

Many bitey bugs buzz our ears as we go

In an infinate swarm of kamakazi mosquitos

Here we go, off I take ya

Slap gnat, dig that treasure

Ooop…   Ooop…  Ooop…

What's that?

Dig it.  Dig it up

Ooop…

Dig it.  Dig it up

Funky Monkey

Ooop…   Ooop…  Ooop…

What's that?

Ooop…   Ooop…  Ooop…

Funky Monkey

Head to the end, jungle temple, and then

Tune the tempo up before we begin

Tricky tippy trap attack brings a boulder down

Rollin' bowlin' bold men back with a thundering sound

They dodge the darts, I play my part

Framing fearless lyrics cheering spirit and heart

Quibble riddle gristle as I ponder temple puzzle

But no lyrics or locks can defy my razzle dazzle

Next to the X, feel the flow that I flex

Get on the go, go get the chest

Priceless prize by any measure

Trip trap, dig that treasure

Now

What's that?

Dig it.  Dig it up

Ooop…

Dig it.  Dig it up

Funky Monkey

What's that?

Dig it.  Dig it up

Ooop…

Dig it.  Dig it up

Funky Monkey

Hear the gate drop, fearful heart flop

Footfalls down the hall, coming near, so don't stop

Drums a beating, feet a fleeting

Take ya to the chamber of the monkey meeting

Gibbons growlin', howlers howlin' and yowlin'

Rhesus and orangutauns pacing and prowlin'

And what do I see past the chimpanzee's

But King Kong's uncle starin', glarin' at me

So ya all know I'm the pro with the stanza

The way I play my verse'n, I'm a ballad bonanza

Pretty poem freely flowin', growin' into the sound

Monkeys ah'd and oogled as they gathered around

Many primates danced in wild wonder that day

But when they saw the chest we made our get away

Hang on to that chest I mentioned

Git quick, with that treasure

Ooop…   Ooop…  Ooop…

What's that?

Ooop…   Ooop…  Ooop…

Dig it.  Dig it up

Funky Monkey

Ooop…   Ooop…  Ooop…

What's that?

Ooop…

Ooop…   Ooop…  Ooop…

How 'bout a banana?

Funky Monkey

Skip time, slip vines, zip line, in time, escape the apes that chase

As we race through the jungle we flee

Bracken a crackin' comes gorilla posse

Feet beat the path, beat the path fast

Best you keep fast past the great marsh grass

I go right through the big bamboo

With my verbal machete to our rendevous

Feet fly, load the skiff by high tide

Rowing that boat, burning off the cellulite

Speed it up, 'fore that ape gets ya

Zip trip, dig that treasure

Ooop…   Ooop…  Ooop…

What's that?

Ooop…

How 'bout a banana?

Funky Monkey

Dig it.  Dig it up

What's that?

Dig it.  Dig it up
