Transcription
Oh the monkey married the baboon's sister
Smacked his lips and then he kissed her
Kissed so hard he raised a blister
She set off a yell
What do you think the bride was dressed in
Yellow satin shoes and a green glass breast pin
Big brown hat and she looked interesting
She was quite a belle
What do you think they had for supper
Black-eyed peas and bread and butter
Ducks for the duck-house was all a-flutter
Oyster patties too
Smacked his lips and then he kissed her
Kissed so hard he raised a blister
She set off a yell
What do you think the bride was dressed in
Yellow satin shoes and a green glass breast pin
Big brown hat and she looked interesting
She was quite a belle
What do you think they had for supper
Black-eyed peas and bread and butter
Ducks for the duck-house was all a-flutter
Oyster patties too
