Late
at night when the moon is in the sky
The neighborhood’s asleep -- no cars driving by
There’s a strange sad noise down the corner at the park
Some dogs hear the noise, they know not to bark --
Stink Monkey
A
wiry little creature plays on the sliding board
He’s swings on the swings and runs through the yard
He climbs on the monkey bars and on the jungle gym
And nobody ever comes out to play with him --
Stink Monkey
[CHORUS]
Stink Monkey says - Don’t wash your hair!
Don’t change your socks or your crusty underwear,
Never brush your teeth or bathe in the sink
And we can share the stink
Your mom says “Wash!” - don’t listen to her
And you’ll end up with a tail and fur
Like me.
I smell funky.
I’m the Stink Stink Stink Stink Stink --Stink Monkey
Nobody knows that monkey very well
Not sure why, but perhaps it is the smell
He smells like a fish who’s been smoking a cigar
Or a TV dinner that’s been left out in the car --
Stink Monkey
None
of the animals ever want to play
Even the skunks will sometimes run away
The swing set smells like that monkey for a week
I wish he’d just take a bath in the creek --
Stink Monkey
[CHORUS]
Perhaps he’s always had that awful scent
Or maybe was the victim of a sad accident
Like he fell into a vat of old seafood
or lived in the swamp and his fur mildewed --
Stink Monkey
If
you don’t clean your teeth and under your arms
Your breath and your smell will ruin your charms
If your friends run away when they see you
You might end up like “you know who”
Stink Monkey.....
[CHORUS]
