The “5” Royales
Monkey Hips and Rice
Geneva called me on the telephone this mornin’
She told me that she had something good to give me
I couldn’a hardly wait to get to my Geneva
And if I told you what she had for me, would you believe me?
It was monkey hips and rice
Monkey hips and rice
Monkey hips and rice
Monkey hips and rice
Monkey hips and rice
Ooh wee I didn’t wanna believe it
Monkey hips and rice
Monkey hips and rice
I said mmmm, this is good
I’d eat some more if I could
I didn’t know what i was eatin’ but the knife and fork, they really took a beatin’
Monkey hips and rice
Monkey hips and rice
Monkey hips and rice
Monkey hips and rice
Ooh wee I didn’t wanna believe it
Monkey hips and rice
Monkey hips and rice
She told me what we had ate for dinner
Man i took me a chair and I beat her down and down
But Geneva, darlin’, don’t you know you still my baby
But when it’s time to eat I just won’t be around
Monkey hips and rice
Monkey hips and rice
Monkey hips and rice
Monkey hips and rice
Ooh wee I didn’t wanna believe it
Monkey hips and rice
