In ancient times Dr. Demento spun a bit of vinyl from what sounded like the 20s or 30s. I believe the title was, “The Monkey and the Baboon.” I’ve googled it and came up with 3 songs I know are not it. One is by the Cramps, another is by Robbie Williams (although it sounds interesting) and the last is not Monkey Doodle Doo by Irving Berlin. The only lick I remember is:
*Monkey and the baboon playin in the grass
Monkey stuck his finger in the baboon’s glass
Shouldda seen ‘em runnin from tree-to-tree
Playin’ hide and go seek with the chimpanzee.
Monkey doodle doo, monkey doodle doo
If you tries to make a monkey out of me
I’ll make a baboon out of you*
This one’s been naggig at me for years and I’m at the end of my rope. Can anyone out there point me to the lyrics?
