she slides across the floor 
 puts her head on his shoulders 
 his eyes search for the door 
 even as he pulls her closer 
 she is a raging beauty 
 he writes i love you truly 
 in lipstick on her mirror 
 which leaves her in a furor 
  
           i want to make you happy 
  
 his fingers brush her face 
 she quivers like a fawn 
 he's lost in her embrace 
 she turns around he's gone 
 she knows his lies are barefaced 
 as she descends the staircase 
 her clothes are falling off her 
 he can't resist her offer 
  
           you want to make me happy 
  
      we do the monkey dance   it's a crazy feeling 
                monkey dance   what are we concealing 
                monkey dance   we shall be revealing 
  
      we do the monkey dance   when the blows all glance 
                monkey dance   we do the monkey dance 
  
 she has a will of iron 
 he reads her keats and byron 
 till she can go no further 
 he starts to read her thurber 
  
           i want to make you happy 
           you want to make me happy 
  
      we do the monkey dance   it's a crazy feeling 
                monkey dance   what are we concealing 
                monkey dance   we shall be revealing 
  
      we do the monkey dance   when the blows all glance 
                monkey dance   we become advanced 
                monkey dance   we do the monkey dance
