| And here's the monkey too | B |
| Just see his funny gown of red | C |
| And little cap of blue | B |

| O look he's on the window there | D |
| His cap is in his paw | E |
| And now he bows and makes a face | F |
| What can it all be for | G |

| O now they've dropped some money in | H |
| While quickly as he can | A |
| See he puts on his cap and gives | I |

| And if you thought of it my boy | W |
| You'd feel with me I know | V |
