Witch Doctor is a song originally written and performed by Ross Bagdasarian, Sr., who also rerecorded it with Alvin and the Chipmunks. New wave band Devo recorded it for The Rugrats Movie, with new lyrics.
The Rugrats Movie[]
The song begins whilst Tommy and the other Rugrats are walking through the forest. They are then greeted by rambunctious monkeys. It is a playful song which fits in with the Rugrats style. Like other songs that appear in the movie, Witch Doctor is included in the soundtrack.
Lyrics[]
Ooo eee, oo ah ah, ting tang, walla walla bing bang
You want to learn something
That I can teach you.
You want to know a
Secret that I swear is true.
Monkeys, we have more fun than
Humans ever do.
Ooo eee, oo ah ah, ting tang, walla walla bing bang
Ooo eee, oo ah ah, ting tang, walla walla bing bang
We learn to climb and swing
Before we learn to run.
We like to party and there is
Room for everyone
Come join us if you really want
To have some fun
Ooo eee, oo ah ah, ting tang, walla walla bing bang
Ooo eee, oo ah ah, ting tang, walla walla bing bang
You never see us tired 'cause we're way too smart for workin'.
A monkey knows a lot more than a man.
We love swinging in the trees and eating our bananas.
Don't you know we never need a plan?
We never worry we just Eat and sleep and play. That's how we make the most of Each and every day. If you want to be a monkey, Then this is what you say!
Ooo eee, oo ah ah, ting tang, walla walla bing bang
Ooo eee, oo ah ah, ting tang, walla walla bing bang
Humans always seem to have their facts a little twisted,
And think that monkeys belong in a tree.
But if you could look at the life in the same way the monkeys see it,
Maybe you'd be over here with me.
(Repeat Chorus 11 times)[1]
