Do The Funky Gibbon
We're the Goodies,
How do you do?
We've just been down to the zoo.
Saw a monkey in a cage doin' a dance that could be the rage.
It's not hard, so let's all do
the Funky Gibbon!
Ooo! Ooo! Ooo!
Chorus
Do do do the Funky Gibbon (Funky Gibbon?)
We are here to show you how. (ooo ooo ooo) -- gibbon hoots
Ooo Ooo Ooo the Funky Gibbon (Funky gibbon?)
He's just like you,
So, come on, Do
The Funky Gibbon Nowwwww.
Dogs are always howlin',
Cats are always Yowlin',
But Gibbons only like to Sing and Dance. (Boop oop shee boop)
You be like that monkey,
Get a little funky,
And in a while, start to smile,
Gibbon have a chance.
(Chorus)
Now get ready to do the Funky Gibbon!
Drop one arm down by your knees, let the other arm reach up to the trees.
Now let your wrists go limp like a bent baboon
And get ready to sing this Gibbon's tune (ooo ooo ooo, Funky Gibbon)
Now won'tcha gimme an Oooooo (oooooo)
Come on gimme an Oooooo (oooooo)
Give me an Ooooooo (oooooo)
Now put 'em together and what have you got?
ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo <--- gibbon hoots

(alt: Tie a yellow Gibbon 'round the old oak tree....)
