Here's my transcription. Funky luck with the play!
--------------------
Come on, everybody, it's Gibbon time!
We're the Goodies, how do you do?
We've just been down to the zoo
We saw a monkey in a cage
Doing a dance that could be the rage
It's not hard, so let's all do
The Funky Gibbon, oo oo oo.
Do, do, do the Funky Gibbon
(The Funky Gibbon)
We are here to show you how
(Oo oo oo)
Oo oo oo, the Funky Gibbon
(The Funky Gibbon)
It's just like you,
So come on and do
The Funky Gibbon now.
Dogs are always howlin',
Cats are always yowlin',
But gibbons only like to sing and dance.
(Oop oop she-boop)
You be like that monkey
Get a little funky
And in a while, start to smile
Gibbon half a chance.
Do, do, do the Funky Gibbon
(The Funky Gibbon [very soft])
We are here to show you how
(Oo oo oo)
Oo oo oo, the Funky Gibbon
(The Funky Gibbon)
It's just like you,
So come on and do
The Funky Gibbon now.
Oo oo oo, the Funky Gibbon
Oo oo oo, the Funky Gibbon
G, the world would be good
I, oh how nice it could
B, with just a little gibbon [could be 'given'] take
(Sha la la la)
B, just like that gibbon
O, and feel the rhythm
N, [in] your groove, and dance up to
The planet of the apes.
Do, do, do the Funky Gibbon
We are here to show you how
(Oo oo oo)
Oo oo oo, the Funky Gibbon
(The Funky Gibbon)
It's just like you,
So come on and do
The Funky Gibbon now.
Oo oo oo, the Funky Gibbon
Oo oo oo, the Funky Gibbon
Oo oo oo, the Funky Gibbon
Oo oo oo, the Funky Gibbon
[continues under]
Now, everybody get ready to do the Funky Gibbon!
Drop one arm down by your knees,
Let the other arm reach up to the trees.
Let your wrist go limp like a bent baboon,
Get ready to sing this gibbon's tune.
Now will you give me an 'oo'?
Ooo!
Will you give me another 'oo'?
Ooo!
And will you give me an 'oo'?
Ooo!
Now put 'em together and what have you got?
(oo oo ooo oo oo ooo ooo etc.)
Do, do, do the Funky Gibbon
We are here to show you how
(Oo oo oo)
Oo oo oo, the Funky Gibbon
(The Funky Gibbon)
It's just like you,
So come on and do
The Funky Gibbon now.
Oo oo oo, the Funky Gibbon
Oo oo oo, the Funky Gibbon
Oo oo oo, the Funky Gibbon
Oo oo oo, the Funky Gibbon
He promised to buy me a bunch of blue gibbons
To tie up my bonny brown...
Oo oo oo, the Funky Gibbon
Funky Gibbon.
