Well man created the cardboard box to sleep in it
And man converted the newspaper to a blanket
Well you have to admit that he's come a long way
Since swinging about in the treesWe're the smartest monkeys
The smartest monkeys
The evidence is all around
Our brains are bigger this we've found
The smartest monkeysWell man discovered the park bench can make a transition
And the rubbish tip makes a valid form of nutrition
With discoveries like these
Civilization agrees
To give itself a pat on the backWe're the smartest monkeys
The smartest monkeys
The evolution's plain to see
We're the dominant of the species
The smartest monkeysWe're the smartest monkeys
The smartest monkeysWe brought the caveman from the stone age
To the subways of the modern world
How they pack so many in
Quick call the Guinness Book of RecordsWell you have to admit
That he's come a long way
Since swinging about in the treesWe're the smartest monkeys
The smartest monkeys
The evidence is all around
Our brains are bigger this we've found
The smartest monkeysThe smartest monkeys
The smartest monkeys
The evolution's plain to see
We're the dominant of the species
The smartest monkeysThe evidence is all around
Our brains are bigger this we've found
The smartest monkeys, okay
