Chorus:

                C                                 Dm

Have you heard about the littlest monkey

          F                   G

In the jungle by the sea?

              C                        Dm

Well, he wants to be an astronaut

        F                        G

fly above his favorite tree

 

        Am (2)

Sometimes he has trouble even peeling a banana

      C (2)

he wants to build a rocket ship

      Dm (2)

His parents say, "Oh, monkey!" but he says, "I'll do it!

      F                                   G

I'll take it on my own space trip."

 

Chorus

 

        Am (2)

Sometimes he has trouble even peeling a banana

             C (2)

but he built his own rocket ship

      Dm (2)

He blasted off high above his favorite tree

        F                                  G

And he began his own moon trip

 

Bridge:

              C                        Dm

He got moon rocks for his family

             F                                    G

and he brought 'em back for everyone to see

              C                        Dm

He got moon rocks for his family

             F                                    G

and he brought 'em back for everyone to see

 

Chorus 2:

                C                                 Dm

Have you heard about the littlest monkey

            F                   G

In the jungle by the sea?

              C                        Dm

Well, he turned into an astronaut

        F                           G

flew above his favorite tree
