Song Lyrics:

Dr. Scratchansniff: One Monday morning, I got up late,
And there were these monkeys outside the gate.
The guard went to stop them but he had no luck;
The monkeys got free and they ran amok.

Dr. Scratchansniff: I don't know what to say, the monkeys won't do...
Yakko, Wakko, Dot: Don't know what to say, the monkeys won't do!
Dr. Scratchansniff: I don't know what to say, the monkeys won't do...
Yakko, Wakko, Dot: Don't know what to say, the monkeys won't do!

Dr. Scratchansniff: My office was run by the studio nurse,
I came downstairs and what could be worse?
The monkeys were doing a crazy dance;
They put buggies in my underpants.

Dr. Scratchansniff: I don't know what to say, the monkeys won't do...
Yakko, Wakko, Dot: Don't know what to say, the monkeys won't do!
Dr. Scratchansniff: Monkeys danced, then I danced, too...
Yakko, Wakko, Dot: Don't know what to say, the monkeys won't do!

Dr. Scratchansniff: I ran outside to get a stick,
But I tell you, friends; those monkeys were quick,
'Cause when I returned, much to my disgrace,
Those monkeys had the nurse in a mad embrace!

Hello Nurse: I don't know what to say, the monkeys won't do...
Yakko: Oh, for a nickel, I'll give you a clue...
Dot: I didn't know your eyes were blue...
Dr. Scratchansniff: I don't know what to say, the monkeys won't do!

Dr. Scratchansniff: I went to my bath for a shower and shave,
The monkeys' gonna put me into my grave...
The entire bathroom was laid to waste
And they shaved my head with minty toothpaste.

Dr. Scratchansniff: I don't know what to say, the monkeys won't do...
Yakko, Wakko, Dot: Don't know what to say, the monkeys won't do!
Dr. Scratchansniff: They're crazy nutso, I'm telling you...
Yakko, Wakko, Dot: Don't know what to say, the monkeys won't do!

Dr. Scratchansniff: Well, by this time, I was feeling dread;
They were using a shoe brush to shine my head.
I asked them to leave, but they stayed around.
They pulled the chain and "Whee!", I went down!

Dr. Scratchansniff: I don't know what to say, the monkeys won't do...
Yakko, Wakko, Dot: Don't know what to say, the monkeys won't do!
Dr. Scratchansniff: Call my lawyer, I'm ready to sue!
Yakko, Wakko, Dot: Don't know what to say, the monkeys won't do!

Dr. Scratchansniff: Well, my patience ran out and I'm telling you, sure...
Tomorrow I show those monkeys the door.
And if they don't leave, I'm inviting you
To my house for dumplings and monkey stew.

Dr. Scratchansniff: I don't know what to say, the monkeys won't do...
Yakko, Wakko, Dot: Don't know what to say, the monkeys won't do!
Dr. Scratchansniff: Now I'm in the stew... Oh, pooh.
Yakko, Wakko, Dot: Don't know what to say, the monkeys won't do!
Dr. Scratchansniff: Watch out for monkeys, I'm telling you!
Yakko, Wakko, Dot: Don't know what to say, the monkeys won't do!

Yakko, Wakko, Dot: We're not monkeys; we're just cuckoo.
Don't know what to say, the Warners won't do! (edit)
