I go ape
every time I see you 😁
I'm a ding dong 🦍

Gonna bump you on the 🤕
& 🥰 you all the while
Well, I'm a 🐒's uncle
who's a cousin to a chimpanzee
Like I was reelin' & a-rockin'
& a-swingin' from a 🥥tree
Oh 🍯 can't you see

Ranga tanga ring ting tong
I'm related to old King Kong
🍯 won't you say you're mine
w/ a honky tonky 🐒 shine
