I remember from my childhood, when I was very small

I had a room in Nanny’s house, with monkeys on the wall!

No matter how I felt before, that room would change it all

You cannot help but smile you know, with monkeys on the wall!

Don’t eat your tea, or answer back, or act up and appal,

No matter, ‘cause its all forgot, with monkeys on the wall!

So if you have little children, be they short or be they tall

Remember this one little thing – put monkeys on the wall
