Jabu, The Little Monkey
James Coffey
High up in the trees lives my little friend
I see him almost everyday down by the river bend
That’s Jabu...the little monkey
He makes a little bed out of twigs and leaves
And takes a little nap in the jungle trees
That’s Jabu...the little monkey
“Such a funny little monkey”
Jabu here, Jabu there
Just a swingin’ through the trees without a hardly a care
That’s Jabu...the little monkey
He’s got a little red spot on the tip of his nose
He makes a funny little sound when you tickle his toes
That’s Jabu...the little monkey
“Such a funny little monkey”
He ate too many berries got a tummy ache
The very next day he made the same mistake
That’s Jabu...the little monkey
Whenever I go walkin’ by his favorite tree
I know he’s up there somewhere lookin’ down on me
That’s Jabu...the little monkey
“Such a funny little monkey”
(chorus)
