Lyrics[]
Jimmy, Jerry, and Kids: One day my brother said to me
Pretend we're monkeys living in a tree
Let's build a treehouse, then we'll see
How many monkeys can live in a tree
So we made a ladder, we made a floor
We made a window, we made a door
Now four monkeys living in a tree
Two of my friends, my brother and me
How many more can there be?
How many monkeys can live in a tree?
We made a game room, we made a den
We made a kitchen, and then and then
Now eight monkeys living in a tree
Six of my friends, my brother and me
How many more can there be?
How many monkeys can live in a tree?
So we make a deck, with a roof on top
A porch to sit on, when it gets hot
Now sixteen monkeys living in a tree
Fourteen friends, my brother and me
It won't be long before we'll see
How many monkeys can live in a tree?
We made a staircase, to a second floor
When that was crowded, we added more
Now thirty-two monkeys swinging in a tree
Branches swaying, then came a breeze
Blew it all down, but now we see
How many monkeys can live in a tree?
Jimmy and Jerry: Blew it all down, but now we see
How many monkeys can live in a tree?
Kids: How many monkeys can live in a tree?
