Aba Daba Honeymoon (From "Two Weeks with Love") - Carleton Carpenter, Debbie Reynolds

Way down in the Congoland

Lived a happy chimpanzee

She loved a monkey with a long tail

(Lordy, how she loved him)

Each night he would find her there

Swinging in the coconut 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 they 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 they 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 every night

High up in the coconut 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 they 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 they 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
