Monkey
big block singsong Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Living like a monkey isn't always a breeze.
Lots more to do than just climbing up trees.
So much to do and that's why I say,
It's gonna be a two banana kind of day.
Two banana day, it's a two banana day.
I start in the morning with a little bit of breakfast.
Take a few moments to do my stretches.
So much to do, so I'm on my way.
It's gonna be a two banana kind of day.
The hardest part of my dead end job
Is picking little bugs of my little brother Bob.
My little brother Bob's got all kinds of bugs,
But that's OK. He gives nice hugs.
Then I crack up coconuts and put them in a pile.
I'll have a little drink when I'm tired in a while.
I'm gonna be bushed so that's why I say,
It's gonna be a two banana kind of day.
Two banana day, it's a two banana day.
Two banana day, it's a two banana day.
At the end of the day I'll take a little time,
Swinging through the jungle on my favorite vine.
I head home hungry so that's why I say,
It's gonna be a two banana kind of day.
Two banana day, it's a two banana day.
Two banana day, it's a two banana day.
Two banana day, it's a two banana day.
Two banana day, it's a two banana, two banana, two banana day.
The song "Monkey" by Big Block SingSong is a fun and upbeat tune that explores the daily life of a monkey. While many people may think that monkeys have it easy, the song points out that they have a lot of work to do aside from just climbing trees. We learn that the singer's day starts with breakfast and stretching, followed by a dead-end job of picking bugs off of his little brother Bob. After that, he cracks open coconuts and takes a break to drink the juice. Despite being tired, he swings through the jungle on his favorite vine before heading home at the end of the day.
The song portrays monkeys as hardworking creatures who have a lot of responsibilities in their daily lives. Through this, the song might be trying to teach kids that everyone has work to do, even animals. Furthermore, the song encourages kids to have a positive attitude towards work and to enjoy the little things in life, like drinking coconut juice.
