Chorus:
Once there was a monkey who just loved to exercise
He’d swing his arms from tree to tree and shake out side to side
Along came a crocodile said “don’t you go like that
You chomp, chomp, sway, sway and give it all you’ve got
You chomp, chomp, sway, sway and give it all you’ve got”
(Chorus)
Along came a cheetah said “don’t you go like that
You run, run, run fast give it all you’ve got
You run, run, run fast give it all you’ve got”
(Chorus)
Along came a green frog said “don’t you go like that
You hop, hop, hop high give it all you’ve got
You hop, hop, hop high give it all you’ve got”
(Chorus)
Along came a tall giraffe said “don’t you go like that
You reach, reach, reach up and give it all you’ve got
You reach, reach, reach up and give it all you’ve got”
(Chorus)
Along came a big gorilla said “don’t you go like that
You pump, pump, pump your muscles give it all you’ve got
You pump, pump, pump your muscles give it all you’ve got”
Then the monkey said, everything’s okay
We all live together and move in our own way
Let’s all do it better, let’s exercise together
You chomp, chomp, sway, sway and give it all you’ve got
You run, run, run fast and give it all you’ve got
You hop, hop, hop high and give it all you’ve got
You reach, reach, reach up and give it all you’ve got
You pump, pump, pump your muscles, give it all you’ve got
You give it all you’ve got, you always give it all you’ve got!
