9. Monkey Hip Gumbo And Mothball Stew

Music and Lyrics by Brent Lewis

The monkey and the baboon were sittin' by the creek,
When the monkey starts jokin' 'bout the baboon's feet.
The baboon said, "Don't give me no stuff!
If you joke about my feet I'm gonna have to get rough!"

Well, the monkey said, "I really don't mean any harm,
Why don't you come to my party and grab my hairy arm?
When we get to the party here's what we'll do,
We'll have Monkey Hip Gumbo and Mothball Stew!"

It's a Monkey Hip Gumbo and Mothball Stew!
What the witchdoctor's got in his brew for you!
Monkey Hip Gumbo, Mothball Stew!
Look at all the crazy things it makes us do!

Take a look over there, there's Mrs. Bear,
She's combing her mothballs in her hair. And over in the corner is Ms. Snake,
She's wrapped herself around the party cake!

All the other folks will be here soon,
Look, there's Sister Fox with Brother Raccoon,
And all of the sudden in popped the skunk
And he cried out loud, "Everybody lets funk!"

It's a Monkey Hip Gumbo and Mothball Stew!
What the witchdoctor's got in his brew for you!
Monkey Hip Gumbo, Mothball Stew!
Look at all the crazy things it makes us do!

Here's the monkey and baboon folks again,
Except now they're really really good friends!
The baboon said, "Monkey your party was a treat,
And I really don't care if you joke about my feet."

It's a Monkey Hip Gumbo and Mothball Stew!
What the witchdoctor's got in his brew for you!
Monkey Hip Gumbo, Mothball Stew!
Look at all the crazy things it makes us do!
