[Chorus: The Beach Boys & (Annette Funicello)]
Uh, huh, She loves the monkey's uncle
Yeah, yeah, She loves the monkey's uncle
Whoa, whoa, She loves the monkey's uncle
(And the monkey's uncle's ape for me!)
[Verse 1: (The Beach Boys) & Annette Funicello]
I don't care what the whole world thinks!
(She loves the monkey's uncle!)
Call us a couple of "missing links"
(She loves the monkey's uncle!)
Love all these monkeyshines
Every day is Valentine's
I love the monkey's uncle
And the monkey's uncle's ape for me!
(Ape for me!)
[Chorus]
[Verse 2: (The Beach Boys) & Annette Funicello]
This in my heart jumps like a clown
(She loves the monkey's uncle!)
Feels like the circus just came to town!
(She loves the monkey's uncle!)
I live in a "jungle gym"
In order to be with him
I love the monkey's uncle
And I wish I were the monkey's aunt!
(Monkey's aunt!)
[Bridge: The Beach Boys & (Annette Funicello)]
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
(On the day he marries me)
[Both]: What a nutty family tree!
A bride!
A groom!
A chimpanzee!
[Verse 3: (The Beach Boys) & Annette Funicello]
Let them say he's the booby prize!
(She loves the monkey's uncle!)
He is the guy I idolize!
(She loves the monkey's uncle!)
Love all those monkeyshines
Every day is Valentine's
I love the monkey's uncle
And the monkey's uncle's ape for me!
(Ape for me!)
[Outro: The Beach Boys & Annette Funicello]
Uh, huh, She (I) loves (love) the monkey's uncle
Yeah, yeah, She (I) loves (love) the monkey's uncle
Whoa, whoa, She (I) loves (love) the monkey's uncle
And I'm mad about his chimpanzee!!!
Uh, huh, She loves the monkey's uncle
Yeah, yeah, She loves the monkey's uncle
Whoa, whoa, She loves the monkey's uncle
(And the monkey's uncle's ape for me!)
[Verse 1: (The Beach Boys) & Annette Funicello]
I don't care what the whole world thinks!
(She loves the monkey's uncle!)
Call us a couple of "missing links"
(She loves the monkey's uncle!)
Love all these monkeyshines
Every day is Valentine's
I love the monkey's uncle
And the monkey's uncle's ape for me!
(Ape for me!)
