Donovan's monkey
Donovan's monkey
Here he rides on his back
But he isn't a lack
No trouble to conceptualize
The monkey's been trying all for size
Now he does a flip
But he makes a hit
There he played quite a gig
Yeah, he's Donovan's monkey
Girl I never learned
Girl I never learnedI was never aware
I used to use up his hair
He wishes you'd love him
For just a day
But the primate does it
Anyway
Scrubbing the floor
Like he did before
