Aba Daba Honeymoon - Children Lyrics

Way down in the Congoland

Lived a happy chimpanzee.

She loved a monkey with long tail

(Lordy, how she loved him!)

Each night he would find her there,

Swinging in the cocoanut tree,

And the monkey gay,

At the break of day,

Loved to hear his Chimpie say:



"Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab,"

Said the Chimpie to the Monk,

"Baba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab,"

Said the Monkey to the Chimp.

All night long they'd chatter away,

All day long there were happy and gay,

Swinging and singing in their hunky-tonkey way.

"Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab,"

Means "Monk, I love but you."

"Baba, daba, dab," in monkey talk

Means "Chimp, I love you, too."

Then the big baboon one night in June,

He married them and very soon,

They went upon their aba, daba honeymoon.



"Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab,"

Said the Chimpie to the Monk,

"Baba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab,"

Said the Monkey to the Chimp.

All night long they'd chatter away,

All day long there were happy and gay,

Swinging and singing in their hunky-tonkey way.

"Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab,"

Means "Monk, I love but you."

"Baba, daba, dab," in monkey talk

Means "Chimp, I love you, too."

One night they were made man and wife,

And now they cry, "This is the life,"

Since they came from their aba, daba honeymoon.



Well, you should have heard that band

Play upon their wedding day,

Each Chimp and Monkey had nutshells

(Lordy, how they played them)

And now it is ev'ry night,

High up in the cocoanut tree.

It's the same old thing,

With the same old swing,

When the Monk and Chimpie sing:



"Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab,"

Said the Chimpie to the Monk,

"Baba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab,"

Said the Monkey to the Chimp.

All night long they'd chatter away,

All day long there were happy and gay,

Swinging and singing in their hunky-tonkey way.

"Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab,"

Means "Monk, I love but you."

"Baba, daba, dab," in monkey talk

Means "Chimp, I love you, too."

Then the big baboon one night in June,

He married them and very soon,

They went upon their aba, daba honeymoon.



"Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab,"

Said the Chimpie to the Monk,

"Baba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab,"

Said the Monkey to the Chimp.

All night long they'd chatter away,

All day long there were happy and gay,

Swinging and singing in their hunky-tonkey way.

"Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab,"

Means "Monk, I love but you."

"Baba, daba, dab," in monkey talk

Means "Chimp, I love you, too."

One night they were made man and wife,

And now they cry, "This is the life,"

Since they came from their aba, daba honeymoon.

Au fond du Congoland

A vécu un chimpanzé heureux.

Elle aimait un singe à longue queue

(Lordy, comme elle l'aimait!)

Chaque nuit, il la retrouvait là-bas,

Se balançant dans le cocotier,

Et le singe gay,

À l'aube,

J'ai adoré entendre son Chimpie dire:



"Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab,"

Dit le chimpanzé au moine,

"Baba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab,"

Dit le singe au chimpanzé.

Toute la nuit, ils bavardaient,

Toute la journée, il y avait des gais et des gays,

Se balancer et chanter à leur manière, avec leur ton hunky.

"Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab,"

Signifie "Monk, j'aime mais toi."

"Baba, daba, dab", dans un discours de singe

Signifie "Chimp, je t'aime aussi."

Puis le gros babouin une nuit de juin,

Il les a mariés et très bientôt,

Ils ont poursuivi leur lune de miel aba, daba.



"Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab,"

Dit le chimpanzé au moine,

"Baba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab,"

Dit le singe au chimpanzé.

Toute la nuit, ils bavardaient,

Toute la journée, il y avait des gais et des gays,

Se balancer et chanter à leur manière, avec leur ton hunky.

"Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab,"

Signifie "Monk, j'aime mais toi."

"Baba, daba, dab", dans un discours de singe

Signifie "Chimp, je t'aime aussi."

Une nuit, ils ont été faits homme et femme,

Et maintenant, ils crient: "C'est la vie",

Depuis qu'ils sont venus de leur lune de miel aba, daba.



Eh bien, vous auriez dû entendre ce groupe

Jouez le jour de leur mariage,

Chaque chimpanzé et singe avait des coquilles de noix

(Lordy, comment ils les ont joués)

Et maintenant c'est chaque nuit,

En hauteur dans le cocotier.

C'est la même vieille chose,

Avec la même vieille balançoire,

Quand le moine et le chimpanzé chantent:



"Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab,"

Dit le chimpanzé au moine,

"Baba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab,"

Dit le singe au chimpanzé.

Toute la nuit, ils bavardaient,

Toute la journée, il y avait des gais et des gays,

Se balancer et chanter à leur manière, avec leur ton hunky.
