Aba Daba Honeymoon Lyrics - Children

Way down in the Congoland 

Lived a happy chimpanzee 

She loved a monkey with long tail 

(Lordy, how she loved him) 

Each night he would find her there 

Swinging in the coconut tree 

And the monkey gay at the break of day 

Loved to hear his chimpie say 

"Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab" 

Said the chimpie to the monk 

"Baba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab" 

Said the monkey to the chimp 

All night long they'd chatter away 

All day long there were happy and gay 

Swinging and singing in their hunky tonky way 

"Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab" 

Means 'Monk, I love but you' 

'Baba, daba, dab' in monkey talk 

Means 'Chimp, I love you, too' 

Then the big baboon one night in June 

He married them and very soon 

Since they came from their aba daba honeymoon 

"Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab" 

Said the chimpie to the monk 

"Baba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab" 

Said the monkey to the chimp 

All night long they'd chatter away 

All day long there were happy and gay 

Swinging and singing in their hunky tonky way 

"Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab" 

Means 'Monk, I love but you' 

'Baba, daba, dab' in monkey talk 

Means 'Chimp, I love you, too' 

One night they were made man and wife 

And now they cry, "This is the life" 

Since they came from their aba daba honeymoon 

Well, you should have heard that band 

Play upon their wedding day 

Each chimp and monkey had nutshells 

(Lordy, how they played them) 

And now it is ev'ry night 

High up in the coconut tree 

It's the same old thing 

With the same old swing 

When the monk and chimpie sing 

"Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab" 

Said the chimpie to the monk 

"Baba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab" 

Said the monkey to the chimp 

All night long they'd chatter away 

All day long there were happy and gay 

Swinging and singing in their hunky tonky way 

"Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab" 

Means 'Monk, I love but you' 

'Baba, daba, dab' in monkey talk 

Means 'Chimp, I love you, too' 

Then the big baboon one night in June 

He married them and very soon 

Since they came from their aba daba honeymoon 

"Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab" 

Said the chimpie to the monk, 

"Baba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab" 

Said the monkey to the chimp 

All night long they'd chatter away 

All day long there were happy and gay 

Swinging and singing in their hunky tonky way 

"Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab" 

Means 'Monk, I love but you' 

'Baba, daba, dab' in monkey talk 

Means 'Chimp, I love you, too' 

One night they were made man and wife 

And now they cry, "This is the life" 

Since they came from their aba daba honeymoon
