Chorus: You can’t make a monkey of me. There’s not a monkey in my family tree. I’ve searched on each branch from Adam to me. I am inclined to believe the story of Adam and Eve. There’s no chimpanzee in my pedigree. And you can’t make a monkey of me. Repeat Can science ever prove it? Will Monkey Trial remove it? We all have ideas of our own. If some with monkey’s feet, let stay in their tree. Don’t talk their chatter to me. The whole missing link puts history on the blink. I’ll give you my opinion, the whole chain was forced, I think. Chorus: You can’t make a monkey of me. There’s not a monkey in my family tree. I’ve searched on each branch from Adam to me. I am inclined to believe the story of Adam and Eve. There’s no chimpanzee in my pedigree. And you can’t make a monkey of me. You can’t make a monkey of me.
