Silly Sock Monkey | Song by Monty Harper

I wrote this song with 5th graders at Richmond Elementary in Stillwater, OK back in 2011.

Silly Sock Monkey - Lyrics
©2025 by Monty Harper

Sock monkey digging out in the dirt
Sock monkey digging out in the dirt
Messy messy mud pies for dessert
Sock monkey digging out in the dirt

Sock monkey hiding under the bed
Sock monkey hiding under the bed
What could worry his fuzzy head?
Sock monkey hiding under the bed

Sock monkey sock monkey you’re such a mess
Why you running from me - I think I can guess
You got dirty when you went out and played
Now it’s time to get clean and you’re afraid

Sock monkey hiding down in a shoe
Sock monkey hiding down in a shoe
Why does sock monkey seem so blue
Sock monkey hiding down in a shoe

Sock monkey hiding in the washing machine
Sock monkey hiding in the washing machine
Guess he doesn’t realize that’s how you get clean!
Sock monkey hiding in the washing machine

Socks and underwear swirling around
All twisted up in a dressing gown
tossed and tangled and twirled and spun
swish swoosh clunk - hey, this is fun!

Sock monkey wants to do that again
Sock monkey wants to do that again
The washing machine has become his friend
Sock monkey wants to do that again

Sock monkey digging out in the dirt
Sock monkey digging out in the dirt
Messy messy mud pies for dessert
Sock monkey digging out in the dirt

Silly sock monkey! (3x)
