Monkey '61 Lyrics - Bell X1

They had the righteous stuff 

They were really quite daring/arrogant 

In their magnificent flying machines 

They were the chosen few 

They loved God and the flag 

They had hair-cuts you could set your watch by 

All hail to Monkey '61, all hail to Monkey '61 

He was the first one in space 

Just like Henry The Cat 

Was the first to wear Channel No.5 

They taught two-two song 

They taught him right from wrong 

With their sweet nuzzles and electric shocks 

So all hail to Monkey '61, all hail to Monkey '61 

Where was his ticker tape parade? For Monkey '61 

Where was his lunch with Jackie O?
