Well, I'Ll Be a Monkey's Uncle

Sister monkey’s not so innocent
‘cause it’s not just in trees that she’s spent
all her time. She told me
that a swinger was she!
Now I understand just what she meant.

Next she told me right here in this tree
she also was having a baby!
Well, I guess it’s ok,
for at last I can say,
that a real monkey’s uncle I’ll be.

hehe...enjoyed this. It's one of my daughter's favorite expressions. She'll say, "Guess what, daddy." I say, "what?" and she says, "a monkey's uncle!"
