[Verse 1]
Love has locked us up, peaches
Locked inside this zoo
Your bananas get thrown at me
And mine get thrown at you
Ev'ry night we fuss and fight
Like me and you know who
I guess love is always just:

[Chorus]
Love is monkey see and monkey do, (that's all it is, peaches)
Love is monkey see and monkey do, (would i lie to you?)
Love is monkey see and monkey do, (that's all it is, peaches)
Love is monkey see and monkey do

[Verse 2]
Do you want my love, peaches?
Do you want my rage?
Or do you merely like to see me shake my cage?
Your papayas get thrown at me
And mine get thrown at you
I guess love is always just:

[Chorus]
Love is monkey see and monkey do, (that's all it is, peaches)
Love is monkey see and monkey do, (would i lie to you?)
Love is monkey see and monkey do, (that's all it is, peaches)
Love is monkey see and monkey do

[Verse 3]
You won't let me near you, peaches
But one day you will
Gonna jump up and stumble and eat all the jungle
Until i've had my fill
Then you'll know the truth, peaches
One and one ain't two
One and one is one and love is:

[Chorus]
Love is monkey see and monkey do, (that's all it is, peaches)
Love is monkey see and monkey do
Would i lie to you? (would i lie to you, baby?)
Love is monkey see and monkey do, (that's all it is, peaches)
Love is monkey see and monkey do. (love is, love is)[x2]

Best known as the drummer for The Beatles, Ringo Starr (born Richard Starkey, 1940) also had a moderately successful solo career (with hits like “It Don’t Come Easy” and “Photograph”) and was the narrator for Thomas The Tank Engine.

His country-infused nickname emerged from a tendency to wear rings on his fingers.
