The First Mate Is a Monkey
The first mate is a monkey
The leader of the crew
He was born to pirate the seas
He'd rather sail on the wild ocean blue
Than to swing in the coconut trees
Oh how that monkey climbs
Up in record time
So we call him Prime Mate
The ship's cook is a parrot
What a chatty bird
He's always fast with a quip
Each morning he'd ask him,
"Monkey what's the word?"
Oh they had the greatest friendship
He made banana stew
For the Cap n' crew
I think you'd like a taste, too
The first mate is a monkey
Say "aye, aye sir!"
He was born in the jungle
With big ears and a long, long tail
The first mate is a monkey
Tell you why, sir
The monkey is a pirate
Who was made to live on the seas
And always sail
Well, we docked down in Rio on a windy day
The monkey was keeping an eye
Parrot said, "Monkey, there's nothing more to say
So it's time for this parrot to fly."
The monkey shed a tear for his old buccaneer
And said, "Let's sail out of here."
The first mate is a monkey
Say "aye, aye sir!"
He was born in the jungle
With big ears and a long, long tail
The first mate is a monkey
Tell you why, sir
The monkey is a pirate
Who was made to live on the seas
And always sail
The leader of the crew
He was born to pirate the seas
He'd rather sail on the wild ocean blue
Than to swing in the coconut trees
Oh how that monkey climbs
Up in record time
So we call him Prime Mate
The ship's cook is a parrot
What a chatty bird
He's always fast with a quip
Each morning he'd ask him,
"Monkey what's the word?"
Oh they had the greatest friendship
He made banana stew
For the Cap n' crew
I think you'd like a taste, too
The first mate is a monkey
Say "aye, aye sir!"
He was born in the jungle
With big ears and a long, long tail
The first mate is a monkey
Tell you why, sir
The monkey is a pirate
Who was made to live on the seas
And always sail
Well, we docked down in Rio on a windy day
The monkey was keeping an eye
Parrot said, "Monkey, there's nothing more to say
So it's time for this parrot to fly."
The monkey shed a tear for his old buccaneer
And said, "Let's sail out of here."
The first mate is a monkey
Say "aye, aye sir!"
He was born in the jungle
With big ears and a long, long tail
The first mate is a monkey
Tell you why, sir
The monkey is a pirate
Who was made to live on the seas
And always sail
