The Monkey Man

The Monkey Man

The sun in winter goes awayAnd makes you light the light,But in the summer time it’s dayAll day until it’s night.So we just play until at lastWe don’t know what to do.And then the monkey man comes pastAnd brings the monkey, too.

The sun in winter goes away

And makes you light the light,

But in the summer time it’s day

All day until it’s night.

So we just play until at last

We don’t know what to do.

And then the monkey man comes past

And brings the monkey, too.
