Monkey On A String (Charlie Poole) 
Most every year when the springtime comes And the birds begin to sing An Italian comes around this town With a monkey on a string And an organ set that monkey set Was in the grocery store The foolish things that monkey does He sets me in a roar 
Now that’s the time the monk begins Heh-ha-ha-ha-ha Oh how that monkey hops and grins Heh-ha-ha-ha-ha Some says he looks like Sally Smith Some say like Deacon Brown It’s laugh, by gosh, the whole day long When that darn monkey’s done 
[Laugh] Some say he looks like Sally Smith Some say like Deacon Brown It’s laugh, by gosh, the whole day long When that darn monkey’s done 
Some said that the monk was made one night When I would see the way That the monk was made from an Italian On the great creation day But a monk was made from an Irishman And I would see the way That a monk was made from an Italian To pass the time away
