If  you believe in Darwin's  theory
 I'm not saying  you have to but it's an interesting  theory
Darwin  said we all  evolve from monkeys
 If his theory  is accurate and really who  am I to say?
 Does the opposite  work going the other  way?
 If it does  I wanna devolve  back to monkeys
  I wanna be  a monkey  that's for sure
  I wanna be  a monkey  like Curious George
 I would sit around all day just eating bananas
 I might be naked or just wear pyjamas
 And make my money appearing in hilarious movies
 Monkey see, monkey do
 That would be my excuse
 It's not my fault, I'm just a monkey who can see
  I wanna be a monkey, that'd be nice
  I wanna be a monkey, eating other monkey's lice
 When they say it's so easy that a monkey could do it
 I'd be more than happy to prove it
 Then you'd know for sure if it was easy or not
 And if you wanna see the home of Michael Jackson
 I could provide some simian distraction
 Cuz we all know monkeys are Michael's second biggest weakness
  I wanna be  a monkey  yes I do
  I wanna be  a monkey  and fling my poo
  I wanna beee-eee  a monkey
  I'd be agape  if I was an  ape
  What a thrilla  to be a gorilla
  It would rock  to be a macaque
  I wanna be a monkey
