Traditional

 

  C                                                      G7

I went to the Animal Fair, the birds and the beasts were there

    G7

The big baboon by the light of the moon

                       C

Was combing his auburn hair.

    C                                                  G7

The monkey, he got drunk, and jumped on the elephant's trunk

G7

The elephant sneezed and fell to his knees

                            C

And that was the end of the monk,

C

The monk, the monk, the monk!

 

One group "vamps" the last line under the regular tune.  After once around, switch parts and sing it again!
