I go ape every time I see you smile I'm a ding dong gorilla and I'll carry you cave man style I'm gonna bop you on the head and love you all the while Well, I'm a monkey's uncle and a cousin to a chimpanzee I was a-reelin' and a-rockin' and a-swingin' from a coconut tree Oh, honey don't you see, you bring out the monkey business in me "I don't believe it!" Honey don't you know I'm gonna be true to you I'll keep you in bananas, and bring you coconuts too And we'll settle down in the nearest county zoo Oh, ranga tanga ting tong, I'm related to an old King Kong Don't you say you're mine, with the honky-tonky monkey shine When you hold my hand I'm a pre-historic man Ha ha ha ha ha, I go ape!
