about

Learned from The Five Royals. I cleaned up one verse, believe it or not.

lyrics

Geneva called me on the telephone this mornin’
She told me that she had something good to give me
I could hardly wait to get to my Geneva
And if I told you what she had for dinner, would you believe me?

Chorus
It was 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

I said mm-mm-mm, this is good.
I’d eat some more if I could.
I didn’t know what it was that I was eatin’ but the knife and fork, they really took a beatin’.

(Repeat Chorus)

When Geneva told me what we had ate for dinner.
Man I left my chair and I beat it out of town*
But Geneva, darlin’, don’t you know that I still love you
But when it’s time to eat I just won’t be around

(Repeat Chorus)
