Die Affen rasen durch den Wald

Ein lustiges Kinderlied zur Unterhaltung.

Text

The monkeys race through the forest,
One knocks the other down,
The whole monkey gang roars:
Where’s the coconut?
Where’s the coconut?
Who stole the coconut?

Mom Monkey sits by the river
And is fishing for the coconut,
The whole monkey gang is shouting:
Where’s the coconut?
Where’s the coconut?
Who stole the coconut?

Uncle Monkey—what a horror—
Uproots whole jungle trees,
The whole monkey gang is screaming:
Where’s the coconut?
Where’s the coconut?
Who stole the coconut?

The monkey milkman—what a slob—
He’s lying in wait for the coconut milk,
The whole monkey gang is shouting:
Where’s the coconut?
Where’s the coconut?
Who stole the coconut?

The elephant in the jungle says:
It’s not here in the thicket,
The whole gang of monkeys shouts:
Where’s the coconut?
Where’s the coconut?
Who stole the coconut?

Even while kissing, the monkey girl thinks
She can’t stop thinking about the coconut,
The whole monkey gang roars:
Where’s the coconut?
Where’s the coconut?
Who stole the coconut?

The baby monkey, full of delight,
Holds the coconut in its hand,
The whole monkey gang shouts:
"Here’s the coconut!
Here’s the coconut!
It stole the coconut."

And the moral of the story is,
Don’t steal coconuts,
or else the whole gang will yell:
"Where's the coconut?"
Where’s the coconut?
Who stole the coconut?
