F G C C
[Verse 1]
C
You treat me just as if I were a monkey in a cage
G
Your friends all think it's clever they think it's the latest rage
C F
They point at me behind my back and say now ain't that cute
C G C
But when you get home tonight you'll find your monkey's flew the coop
[Chorus]
G C
And I'll be walkin' the dog a livin' high on the hog
G C
Makin' all the nightspots left to right
G C
You'll find me struttin' my strot yes I'll be cuttin' the rug
F G C
Don't wait up cause your monkey won't be home tonight
[Solo]

[Verse 2]
C
Whatever suits you fancy it's why you think I should do
G
Jump up and down turn round and round then jump through the hoop
C F
But I should swing from limb to limb so everyone can see
C G C
Well, I may do some swingin' but it won't be from a tree
[Chorus]
G C
And I'll be walkin' the dog a livin' high on the hog
G C
Makin' all the nightspots left to right
G C
You'll find me struttin' my strot yes I'll be cuttin' the rug
F G C
Don't wait up cause your monkey won't be home tonight
F G C C
Don't wait up cause your monkey won't be home tonight
