Prompt: Your Muse and Andre have decided to collaborate. They want to write a song together. Write Their Song – This prompt may be a poetic form.

***


Sung to the Tune of "Can't Take My Eyes Off You"




Mara has a playful and sultry way of singing this especially the opening segment where she pets Andre as he plays his trumpet.

You like to climb lots of trees.
You like to swing in the breeze.
When Bananas are found.
You leave their peels on the ground.

You have good friends in the zoo.
They all go OO OO OO OO
Ape or Chimpanzee
They are like your family.

Andre's Trumpet solo:
Bada Bada Bada Bum Bum
Ba Dada Dada Dada Bum Bum
Ba Bada Bada Bada Bum Bum
Ba Dada dada Da!!

Chorus:
Cause you're a monkey
and that is really true
Yes you're a monkey
You're not a Kangaroo
Yes you're a monkey
And I'm quite happy to say

That you're a monkey
Of course that's nothing new
Yes you're a monkey
You're not a cockatoo
Yes you're a monkey
And you really brighten my day

You like to climb lots of trees.
You like to swing in the breeze.
When Bananas are found.
You leave their peels on the ground.

You have good friends in the zoo.
They all go OO OO OO OO
Ape or Chimpanzee
They are like your family.

Andre's Trumpet solo but this time he crescendos louder at the end for a powerful effect:
Bada Bada Bada Bum Bum
Ba Dada Dada Dada Bum Bum
Ba Bada Bada Bada Bum Bum
Ba Dada dada Dah!!

Mara really shows off her pipes with this:
You're one cool Monkey.
Oh yes you're really great.
You're one sweet Monkey
You are a swell primate.

You are a Monkey... yes your a Mu uh uh uh unnn key!!

***


The crowd is always on their feet applauding every time Andre and Mara perform this particular number.
