Monkey Vendor - The Tokens

As I was walking down the beach

On the island of Panguay

I saw a little man with a monkey in his hand

And then I heard him say

How much do you got

For this monkey that I got

Do you got a lot to pay

If you don’t got a lot

For this monkey I got

Then I take what you got

For this monkey I got

Hey dumbalaila

Hey dumbalaila

Hey dumbalaila

Dumba dumbalaila

Hey dumbalaila

Hey dumbalaila

Hey dumba dumba dumba lai

Next day I went down to the shore

In a misty tropical rain

To see that little man once more

And hear him say again

Hup hup

How much do you got

For this monkey that I got

Do you got a lot to pay

If you don’t got a lot

For this monkey I got

Then I take what you got

For this monkey I got

Hey dumbalaila

Hey dumbalaila

Hey dumbalaila

Dumba dumbalaila

Hey dumbalaila

Hey dumbalaila

Hey dumba dumba dumba lai

That little man he had no cares

And made that all

By selling his monkeys to everyone

And saying just one thing

Hup hup

How much do you got

For this monkey that I got

Do you got a lot to pay

If you don’t got a lot

For this monkey I got

Then I take what you got

For this monkey I got

Hey dumbalaila

Hey dumbalaila

Hey dumbalaila

Dumba dumbalaila

Hey dumbalaila

Hey dumbalaila

Hey dumba dumba dumba lai

Hey dumbalaila

Hey dumbalaila

Hey dumbalaila…
