Hey, Hey, We’re the Monks Songtext
von “Weird Al” Yankovic

Ave, ave, ave, ave, doo-wop
Bum-ba-dum-bum-bum

Welcome to our abbey
The best in the domain
The order of our Father of perpetual refrain
And we′re the monks
Hey, hey, we're the monks
Hey, hey, we′re the monks
Hey, hey, we're the monks

Come in if you are weary
There's food if you would dine
Plus 31 varieties of sacramental wine
And we′re the monks
Hey, hey, we′re the monks


Bum-ba-dum-bum-bum
I'm the smart one, ah, hallelu
I′m the cute one, ah, boop-si-doo
I'm the shy one, ah, peekaboo
And I′m the bad boy, but not so bad 'cause I′m a monk
Ooh, bless you, children, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Doo-doo, doo-da-doo
Yip, yip, yip, ye-doo
Doo-doo, doo-da-doo
Yip yip

We'll fetch the holy water
And holy soap as well
'Cause holy guacamole that one reeks to holy hell
And we′re the monks
Hey, hey, we′re the monks, we're the monks

Hey, hey, we′re the finger-boppin', never-stoppin′, humble-with-a-cherry-toppin' monks!
Ooh we are, jazz hands (monks) yeah
