You look like a monkey and smell like one too.

Question

This is a funny rhyme that kids say. I am trying to translate it and this is what I have come up with

Mira como un mono y huele como un también.

I have no doubt that this is wrong so I´m looking for some help. Gracias

We kids sometimes sang the Birthday Song like this, "Happy birthday to you, you belong in a zoo, you look like a monkey and you act like one, too." - MJ, Jul 14, 2010

Answer 1

It's more like:

"Te ves como un mono y hueles como uno también".

But I guess that depends on the context of the conversation. If it's like an instruction (in order to become a real monkey, you (need to) look like a monkey and smell like one too.) But if it's like a child saying it to another to describe another, it would be like I mentioned above.

Answer 2

¡Pareces a un mono y hueles igual! (yuck!)

Answer 3

Te ves como mono y como aquel te hueles también

Answer 4

¡ No soy un hombre,que soy un mono !

I am not a man, I am a Monkey!!!

Answer 5

Se te notas un mono y hueles así también

Answer 6

Upon you as well.

Answer 7

Pareces un mono y hueles así también.

Answer 8

My guess would be "Te parace como un mono y hueles como uno también."

Answer 9

mirar=to look at

parecer=to seem or to look like (resemble)

uno=un before a singular masculine noun (which también is not)
