I packed my books, I packed my snack
I zipped it up and swung it on my back
But something wiggled what could it be
A monkey was hiding, looking at me
OH NO!, Monkey in my backpack
Jumping and giggling watch him run
Monkey in my backpack, can you see
That silly monkey came to school with me
Don’t you want a monkey in your backpack
Then you’d be just like me
We got to school, I took my seat
I felt my bag go bump-bump-beat
Then zip! it opened wide, oh gee
That monkey popped out shouting, Look at me
OH NO!, Monkey in my backpack
Jumping and giggling watch him run
Monkey in my backpack, can you see
That silly monkey came to school with me
Don’t you want a monkey in your backpack
Then you’d be just like me
The teacher gasped, the kids all stared
The monkey laughed he didn’t care
He swung from lights, he tapped the drum
Then clapped his hands and yelled, YUM-YUM
OH NO!, Monkey in my backpack
Jumping and giggling watch him run
Monkey in my backpack, can you see
That silly monkey came to school with me
Don’t you want a monkey in your backpack
Then you’d be just like me
Zip! went the bag, back inside
The monkey grinned and tried to hide
I whispered softly, You silly friend
Tomorrow we’ll do it all again
OH NO!, Monkey in my backpack
Jumping and giggling watch him run
Monkey in my backpack, can you see
That silly monkey came to school with me
Don’t you want a monkey in your backpack
Then you’d be just like me
