John is a monkey

A big ol monkey is he

Well sometimes a cute little monkey, do I see

๐ŸŽถOh, he went down to the river

to get him some ba na na's ๐ŸŽถand he would shiver

as he was just so excited

๐ŸŽถbut when he got there, the doggone banana's๐ŸŽถ had exited

๐ŸŽถthey were g o ne๐ŸŽถ

Left him alone by the river to carry on.

So John was a very sad monkey

As he sat crying by the river he

said to me how sad he was to see

no banana's on his tree

Then he asked me what the doctor had said about my monkeyitis

and I said, "We didn't talk about you at all while I was there, just my arthritis."๐Ÿคฃ
