He couldn't wait to go

 But he Amnever did go skiing

 He cDm7ouldn't go because

GmMartin was a monkey

C F7M

He told his friends about it

They thought that it was daft

They laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed

And laughed and laughed and laughed.

But he left his branch, he left his tree

He leapt apon the floor

But he couldn't leave the cage

Because a lock was on the door

He talked to the zookeepers

He asked to be set free

But nobody would listen

'Cos they couldn't speak monkey

He never did go skiing

He couldn't go because

Martin was a monkey

And a monkey's what he was.

 He Amstood and looked out from the cage

 It Emsimply wasn't fair

 Why Amdid he have to stay inside

 When Emskiing was out there?

But that's the way life was

And there was nothing he could do

It seemed that all things had a place

And his was in the zoo.

So Martin never got his dream

He simply sat and cried

He spent his life in London Zoo

Until the day he died.

He never did go skiing

He couldn't go because

Martin was a monkey

And a monkey's what he was.

A monkey's what he was.

A monkey's what he was.
