This is a mechanical monkey.
Made around 1940.
It holds a striking rod, and a bell.
Sitting here it has no containment cell.
You may go closer do not be afraid.
On someone's birthday, it will activate.
Ring, ding, ring-a-ding. Ding ding, it's your birthday!
Ring, ding, ring-a-ding. Ring ring, ding ding, birthday!
Ring, ding, ring-a-ding. Ding ding, it's your birthday!
Birthday!
Yeah, birthday!
It will stand up, do a backflip, and then sing.
When it's done, it will pause, ring its bell and rebegin.
Take the candy that it drops, no do not neglect.
You must reverse the effect.
It's harmless but can kill you.
So you must know what you must do.
And because it's your birthday,
it keeps on singing all the way.
Ring, ding, ring-a-ding. Ding ding, it's your birthday!
Ring, ding, ring-a-ding. Ring ring, ding ding, birthday!
Ring, ding, ring-a-ding. Ding ding, it's your birthday!
Birthday!
Yeah, birthday!
It will stand up, do a backflip, and then sing.
When it's done, it will pause, ring its bell and rebegin.
Take the candy that it drops, no do not neglect.
You must reverse the effect.
