(Primates are hard to be-eat)

Now look at them baboons.don't know how they do it
They're smokin' cigars, betting cockily
Stakes they're raisin'.that's the way they do it
Monkeys are bluffin', but that chimp's got three

I'm down a thousand.don't know how they do it
Flingin' faeces, but they ain't dumb
You can tell that gibbon thinks that he's a winner
Because he got o-pposable thumbs

CHORUS:
I got a straight, that mandrill's got nothin'
Palms are itchin'I was na-i-ive
I didn't bank ona flush from Cheetah
He must've had an ace up his slee-eeve

See the little marmoset a-chawin' on a peanut
He's workin'his poker stare
That little marmoset has cleaned out Vegas
That little marmoset's a millionaire

CHORUS:
I won a hand; orang-utan's huffin'
Starts a-swinginon chandeli-i-ier
Don't play "no-limit"with a gorilla
Especially on his seventeenth bee-eer!

I shoulda learned to play canasta
I shoulda tried roulette or craps
Fleeced by a rhesus?....He's doing rude things with bananas
Holding four Jacks, perhaps?

Check it out nowwho's that simian smartass?
Dealing from the bottom, throwing chips at me
Kings for King Kongthat's the way they do it
Monkeys are bluffin', but that chimp's got three

CHORUS:
I got a straight, that mandrill's got nothin'
Palms are itchin'I was na-i-ive
I didn't bank ona flush from Cheetah
He must've had an ace up his slee-eeve

I should be leavin'made a mint but blew it
You cannot outsmart apes from Barbary
Cash I'm owin'.Clyde's gonna pursue it
Monkey be roughin'throwin' bricks at me
Monkeys were bluffin', knew that chimp had three
