The moon is bright above, oh what a night for love
And as I hold you near, I whisper in your ear
I go wave every time I see you smile
I'm a ding-dong gorilla, carry-on caveman style
I'm gonna bop you on the head and love you all the while
Well, I'm a monkey's uncle who's a cousin to a chimpanzee
Like I was reeling, rocking, howling from a coconut tree
Honey, can't you see you bring out the monkey business in me?
Ram-a-lam-a-ling-ting-tong, I'm related to old King Kong
Honey, won't you say you're mine, where the hunky-dunky monkeys shine
When you hold my hand, I'm a prehistoric man
I go wave like a barrel of monkeys on an abadabba honeymoon
I go squealing, screeching, howling like a big bear fool
Honey, I'll explain to you how I feel
If you don't come and kiss me soon
Honey, you know I'm gonna be true to you
I'm gonna keep you in bananas and bring you coconuts
We'll settle down in the nearest cowdy zoo
Ram-a-lam-a-ling-ting-tong, I'm related to old King Kong
Honey, won't you say you're mine, where the hunky-dunky monkeys shine
When you hold my hand, I'm a prehistoric man
I go wave
