A monkey may look like a man
But still a monkey ain't
A homely girl may look real cute
Behind a coat of paint
Don't let the outside surface
Mean anything to you
My father was a traveling man
That's how I know it's true
It's hard to tell the depth of a well
By the length of the handle on the pump
It's hard to gage a camel's age
By the curl of the hair upon his hump
A girlie who may promise to be true
To you may be true to you and who knows who, do you?
It's hard to tell the depth of a well
By the length of the handle on the pump
But still a monkey ain't
A homely girl may look real cute
Behind a coat of paint
Don't let the outside surface
Mean anything to you
My father was a traveling man
That's how I know it's true
It's hard to tell the depth of a well
By the length of the handle on the pump
It's hard to gage a camel's age
By the curl of the hair upon his hump
A girlie who may promise to be true
To you may be true to you and who knows who, do you?
It's hard to tell the depth of a well
By the length of the handle on the pump
