Monkey Tuesday Theme Lyrics

Definitely not in the category of Ideas Worth Reading, but I wanted to share
my delight anyway.

I wrote lyrics to a tune I'd heard on Penn Radio and emailed the lyrics in.

They played it on the radio. I was so delighted I jumped up and lept about.

Penn Radio on Tuesdays features folks calling in with stories about monkeys and mayhem. Whenever the host says "monkey Tuesday" the staff plays the Monkey Tuesday theme.


Monkey Tuesday Theme Lyrics
by David Oakey

monkeys on the air
monkey with the mike
screeching scratching biting
that we like

don't say chimpanzee
nor orangutan
all we say is monkey
bang bang bang

monkeys in the air
monkeys on the roof
tearing off the landau
wif their toof

now they have the pots
now they have the pans
let's go ape together
bang clang cans

Note: the "Monkey" in the second line is a verb, not a noun, and "Mike" could either be Michael Goudeau, the show's cohost, or microphone.
