Bilingual
Monkey married the baboon's sister
Gave her a ring and then he kissed her
Kissed her so hard he raised a blister
She set up a yell
The bridesmaid stuck on some cork plaster
Stuck so fast it couldn't stick faster
Surely it was a sad disaster
But it soon got well
And what do you think the bride was dressed in?
White gauze veil and green glass breast pin
Red kid shoes, quite interestin'
She was quite a belle
The bridegroom blazed with a blue shirt collar
Black silk stock that cost a dollar
Large false whiskers, fashion to follow
He cut a monstrous swell
What do you think they had for supper?
Chestnuts raw boiled and roasted
Apples sliced, onions toasted
Peanuts not a few
What do you think they had for a fiddle?
An old banjo with a hole in the middle
Tambourine and a worn out griddle
Hurdy Gurdy too
What do you think were the tunes they danced to?
What were the figures they advanced to?
Up and down as they chanced to
Tails they were too long
Duck in the kitchen, Old Aunt Sally
Playing cotillion, who keeps tally?
Up and down, they charge and rally
And it is my song
