Lyrics:

Come on everybody, it's gibbon time!

We're the Goodies, how do you do?
We've just been down to the zoo
We saw a monkey in a cage
Doing 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 (The Funky Gibbon)
We are here to show you how (Ooo, ooo, ooo)
Ooo, ooo, ooo, the Funky Gibbon (The Funky Gibbon)
It's just like you
So come on and do
The Funky Gibbon now

Dogs are always howlin'
Cats are always yowlin'
But gibbons only like to sing and dance (Boop, boop, she-boop)
You be like that monkey
Get a little funky
And in a while, start to smile
Gibbon half a chance

[REPEAT CHORUS]

Ooo, ooo, ooo, the Funky Gibbon X2
G, the world would be good
I, oh how nice it could
B, with just a little gibbon take (Sha, la, la, la)
B, just like that gibbon
O, and feel the rhythm
N, in your groove, and dance up to
The planet of the apes

[REPEAT CHORUS]

Ooo, ooo, ooo, the Funky Gibbon X4

Now, everybody get ready to do the Funky Gibbon!
(Ooo, ooo, ooo, the Funky Gibbon)
Drop one arms down by your knees
Let the other arm reach up to the trees
(Ooo, ooo, ooo, the Funky Gibbon)
Let your wrist go limp like a bent baboon
Get ready to sing this gibbon's tune
(Ooo, ooo, ooo, the Funky Gibbon)

Now will you give me an "ooo"? (Ooo!)
Will you give me another "ooo"? (Ooo!)
And will you give me an "ooo"? (Ooo!)
Now put 'em together and what have you got?
(Ooo, ooo, ooo, etc)

[REPEAT CHORUS]

Ooo, ooo, ooo, the Funky Gibbon X4

He promised to buy me a bunch of blue gibbons
To tie up my bonny brown ...

Ooo, ooo, ooo, the Funky Gibbon
The Funky Gibbon!
(Ooo, ooo, ooo, whoop, whoop etc)
