Monkey Business
Danger Danger Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

People say I got a dirty mind
But you don't think so clean
See it takes one to know one
And baby I've known some
If ya know what I mean

C'mon little sister
I could be your mister right
If ya got the time
So if you're in the mood
For a slow poke honey
Baby won't you give me a try

Whoa yeah
We can do it all day
Do it all nite
Whoa yeah
Ain't gonna stop 'til I get it right
'Cuz there

Chorus:
Ain't no business like monkey business
Climb on up my tree
No there
Ain't no business like monkey business
Monkey around with me

Ol' King Kong
He had a thing for blondes
The ladies were drivin' him ape
Then that poor boy slipped
And he lost his grip
From the top of the Empire State

He had a real bad habit
Always had to have it
Ain't nothin' wrong with that
So if ya think that's cool
Wanna play in my zoo
All ya gotta do is ask

Whoa yeah
We can do it all day
Do it all nite
Whoa yeah
Ain't gonna stop 'till I get it right
'Cuz there

Chorus

Climb on up my tree
Just like the birds and the bees
A bungle in the jungle
Oughta do the trick for me





Chorus

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Danger Danger's song "Monkey Business" exude a sense of sexual energy and playfulness. The chorus showcases this perfectly as it repeatedly proclaims, "Ain't no business like monkey business." The lyrics carry a metaphorical meaning as the monkey symbolizes the primal and untamed nature of the human sexual instinct, which is most often suppressed and kept under wraps. The singer is trying to urge his potential partner to indulge in this untamed aspect of human nature and join him in the tree (a metaphor for the intimate act).


Moreover, the lyrics also touch upon the human tendency to indulge in guilty pleasures without any inhibitions with lines like, "Ain't nothin' wrong with that." These lyrics suggest a free-spirited and non-judgmental approach towards the subject of sexuality. The reference to Ol' King Kong and his fall from the top of the Empire State is an allusion to man's inherent inability to tame the wild animal within him, i.e., his untamed sexual drive.


In conclusion, the song's lyrics celebrate sexuality in a playful and euphemistic way while also acknowledging its primal nature and our inability to control it fully.
