The love of my life is heaven sent She's a Frugal MacDoogal when I'm badly bent These days I barely make enough to pay our rent Buskin' from dawn to dusk She deserves the best so I never take a rest I put on a fez and my old red vest Get out on the street start beating my chest Till coins are filling my cup Money makes the monkey jump Money makes the monkey jump When the organ grinds I see dollar signs 3rd chorus (at the sound of ca ching I'll be doing my thing) Money makes the monkey jump (Oh yeah, money makes the monkey jump) I'm a low budget guy with high expectations Dreaming we're takin' an island vacation Swinging from vines in exotic locations Sipping on mango fandangos My Havana banana's so ripe for the pickin' When I go into the dance of the funky chicken She says: you're cute, funny and you make my pulse quicken Soon we're gonna be rolling in dough Money makes the monkey jump Money makes the monkey jump When the organ grinds I see dollar signs Money makes the monkey jump (Oh yeah, money makes the monkey jump) Money makes the monkey jump Money makes the monkey jump When the organ grinds I see dollar signs (at the sound of ca ching I'll be doing my thing) Money makes the monkey jump (Oh yeah, money makes the monkey jump) I love show business it's still a big thrill Every corner I play I'm top of the bill Ain't caught a break yet but she tells me I will So I go for the gold
