She take banana
When me hungry
Yeah, she’s a triflin’
Ape indeed
Oh, she’s a greedy gorilla
Way over town
Monkeyin’ with me

I ain’t sayin’ she a greedy gorilla,
But she ain’t swingin’ with no broke chimps.
I ain’t sayin’ she a greedy gorilla,
But she ain’t swingin’ with no broke chimps.

Swing down, girl, go ‘head, swing down.
Swing down, girl, go ‘head, swing down.
Swing down, girl, go ‘head, swing down.
Swing down, girl, go ‘head.

She take banana
Cutie the bomb, met her deep in the Congo
Banana peel dress, said her name was Bongo
Baby gorilla on her hip lookin’ real strong-o
I could tell she was trouble but I played along, though

Told her: “I’m Adventure-rilla, I’m a traveling chimp, ma’am.”
She said, “This fruit ain’t free.” “Girl, what you mean fam?”
She said “You wanna swing with me? Then you better up your gameplan,”
“Already gotta lotta subs on my ‘OnlyOrangutans.’”

I ain’t sayin’ she a greedy gorilla,
But she ain’t swingin’ with no broke chimps.
I ain’t sayin’ she a greedy gorilla,
But she ain’t swingin’ with no broke chimps.

Swing down, girl, go ‘head, swing down.
Swing down, girl, go ‘head, swing down.
Swing down, girl, go ‘head, swing down.
Swing down, girl, go ‘head.

Eighteen trees, eighteen trees,
She’s got chimps swingin’ from eighteen trees,
I know a Bonobo feedin’ one of her kids,
She got bananas by her tree stacked higher than his.
You’ll see her on safari, always on the prowl,
Hanging with zebras, leopards, and a crocodile.
She was supposed to get ya troop some fresh bamboo,
But instead, she ate mangos and got a tattoo.

If you’re no chimp chump, holler “We want tree nuts!”
“We want tree nuts, yeah!”
It’s something every monkey needs to stash
‘Cause when she leaves your tree, she gon’ eat half
Eighteen swings, eighteen swings
And on the 18th swing, she dipped, took wing

I ain’t sayin’ she a greedy gorilla,
But she ain’t swingin’ with no broke chimps.
I ain’t sayin’ she a greedy gorilla,
But she ain’t swingin’ with no broke chimps.

Swing down, girl, go ‘head, swing down.
Swing down, girl, go ‘head, swing down.
Swing down, girl, go ‘head, swing down.
Swing down, girl, go ‘head.

Now, I ain’t sayin’ you a banana digger, you got needs,
You want your chimp to swing, but he can’t climb trees,
He goes out to forage, but brings back leaves,
You told him “build the nest,” but he’s scratchin’ his knees.
But while y’all gatherin’, watch him,
He gon’ build a raft from sticks, sayin’ he’s captain,
He got that ambition, baby, look in his eyes,
This week, he’s chasin’ beetles; next week, it’s fireflies!

So stick by his side.
I know there’s chimps climbin’ up real high,
But he’s tryin’ his best, so don’t be a diva,
When he gets goin’ he’ll leave your tree for a zebra!

Swing down, girl, go ‘head, swing down.
Swing down, girl, go ‘head, swing down.
Swing down, girl, go ‘head, swing down.
Swing down, girl, go ‘head.
She take banana!
