I swing from vine to vine by the tip of my tail, I look around, I am the only female
I ooho and aahh and let out a wail, ooh, I see a trail

I talk to my fellow monkeys, one monkey is very hunky
I walk around on my own 4 legs so spunky, too bad I can’t run since I’m so chunky

I’m not afraid to be myself, I’m like chippy from the elf on the shelf
We have pride in oneself, We don’t trouble oneself

I go swing home and see my sisters, sometimes are fights are like twisters,
My sister gives me a blister, Maybe I shouldn’t have dissed her

The day turns into night, there’s nothing in site,
My mom says there’s no more light, I go to be in spite

I go sleep in the savannah, I dream of bananas,
I wake up in my new home in americanas, its was great to live in the savannah.
