==Lyrics==
<nowiki>I love my brine shrimp pals, they are my friends
I watch them float around inside their tank
But when I came back home from school today
My little friends were dead and I was sad

The other day they were alive
And now they're floating at the top
I knew they wouldn't last forever
And now they're just a bunch of dead sea monkeys

Will my sea monkeys go to heaven?
Will my sea monkeys go to hell?
Will my sea monkeys go to heaven?
Will my sea monkeys go to hell?

The other day they were alive
And now they're floating at the top
I knew they wouldn't live forever
And now they're just a bunch of
Dead sea monkeys, dead sea monkeys (uh ah oh oh oh)
Dead sea monkeys, dead sea monkeys (uh ah oh oh oh)

My brine shrimp pals have died a grisly death
Why must the things I love just disappear?
Is it my fault, did I forget their food?
I hope they're in a better place right now

Will my sea monkeys go to heaven? Yes!
Will my sea monkeys go to hell? No!
Will my sea monkeys go to heaven? Yes!
Will my sea monkeys go to hell? No!

I miss 'em, I miss 'em, me oh my!
I miss 'em, I miss 'em, me oh my!
I miss 'em, I miss 'em, me oh my!
I miss 'em, I miss 'em, me oh my!

The other day they were alive
And now they're floating at the top
I knew they wouldn't live forever
And now they're just a bunch of
Dead sea monkeys, dead sea monkeys (uh ah oh oh oh)
Dead sea monkeys, dead sea monkeys (uh ah oh oh oh)

The other day they were alive (Dead sea monkeys)
And now they're floating at the top (Dead sea monkeys)
I knew they wouldn't live forever (Dead sea monkeys)
And now they're just a bunch of
Dead sea monkeys, dead sea monkeys (uh ah oh oh oh)
Dead sea monkeys, dead sea monkeys (uh ah oh oh oh)

I want my monkeys back, give my monkeys back!
I want my monkeys back, Jesus Christ
I want my monkeys back, give my monkeys back!
I want my monkeys back, Jesus Christ
I want my monkeys back, give my monkeys back!
I want my monkeys back, Jesus Christ
I want my monkeys back, gimme my monkeys back!
I want my monkeys back, Jesus flippin' Christ!

Dead sea monkeys, dead sea monkeys (uh ah oh oh oh)
Dead sea monkeys, dead sea monkeys (uh ah oh oh oh)
Dead sea monkeys, dead sea monkeys (uh ah oh oh oh)
Dead sea monkeys, dead sea monkeys (uh ah oh oh oh)

(Telephone rings)
Hello?</nowiki>
