The Eternal Rookie - Monkeyhouse Lyrics

Look behind you A three-headed monkey

Today the monkeys are all raging
Cause they want to play some tunes
And theyre gonna start engaging
On all fours beneath the moon

The gorilla hits the drum
Making thunder in the zoo
And the chimpanzee will come
With his horn and blow right through

Crooked and all out of key
Baboons scream without a score
While the cheeky monkey Bobo
He conducts with a banana

You can hear their wails and screeches
Echo loud into the night
And the keeper named Ole
Is waking up to quite a fright

Baba Suena
Baba Suena
Baba Suena
Wop Wop Wop

Baba Suena
Baba Suena
Baba Suena
Wop Wop Wop

From his slumber hes disturbed
Falling backwards from his bed
His cheeks flush with anger
Glowing ultra-violet red

He bursts through the door
Cursing like a storm
And you can hear his words
Echoing as he marches through the dorm

Baba Suena
Baba Suena
Baba Suena
Wop Wop Wop

Baba Suena
Baba Suena
Baba Suena
Wop Wop Wop

Baba Suena
Baba Suena
Baba Suena
Wop Wop Wop

The elder ape looks thoughtful
He catches wind with his ear
Wer are in for trouble no doubt
If we dont start to clear

So the word spreads like wildfire
That the party's at its end
Its almost time for daylight
The clock strikes six my friend

Quick throw the drum into the corner
And the violins under the hay
Toss the rattles under covers
Hide the cello right away

Baba Suena
Baba Suena
Baba Suena
Wop Wop Wop

Baba Suena
Baba Suena
Baba Suena
Wop Wop Wop

Baba Suena
Baba Suena
Baba Suena
Wop Wop Wop

When the keeper finally shows up
The monkey house is still
No more rustling not a whisper
Theres no sign of any thrill

No more rage but wisdom now
As the keeper starts to think
That the monkeys may be noisy
But theyre smarter than youd think

Baba Suena
Baba Suena
Baba Suena
Wop Wop Wop

Baba Suena
Baba Suena
Baba Suena
Wop Wop Wop

Baba Suena
Baba Suena
Baba Suena
Wop Wop Wop
