The honky tonky donkey could sing and dance well enough to be in a rodeo.
The minute that the volume got turned up (even higher than the heat !),
The honky tonky monkey tapped his feet to the beat.
He shook, rattled and rolled so much, he lost his sunglasses on the street !
You could often find him paddling in the tide, singing to his heart’s content,
(well, he had to find some way of paying the rent !).
Sixties hits were his favourites …
When his stereo was blasting loud, sitting down wasn’t allowed !
He wriggled so much, he almost fell out of his shorts –
He even won a dance competition in the school sports !
Soon, the honky tonky monkey’s sunhat fell off,
And it wasn’t at all because the sea was too rough !
But because his disco – teching was hot stuff and he couldn’t stop till he got enough !
From the circus, a monkey came,
Who’d heard all about the honky tonky monkey’s musical game.
But the monkey didn’t have any rythmn at all –
When he started to sing, the pictures fell off the wall !
Whenever he tried to do the “monkey funk !”,
He broke the stereo and all that happened was an out – of – tune “CLUNK !”
No wonder that the monkey was so out of time :
He couldn’t get any of the words in his hit song to rhyme,
Yet, even though their CD collection was really rather scratched,
The honky tonky donkey and the funky clunky monkey were incredibly well – matched !
Together they tried to sing like a bird,
Eventually, it was the sweetest honky tonk sound ever heard !
Name
That Tune In One !
Imagine each of the words, taken from the text above, is sung, instead of written in the musical keys A to F. The correct key that the song should be sung in is the missing letter – guess how to spell the word correctly for a point for your team … but all players must sing their answers !
