Monkey in a Dogcart?

We're not sure "dogcart" should be a word, but there are three kinds. (1) A dogcart is a luggage cart pulled by a dog. (2) A dogcart is a horse-drawn carriage that carries two hunters plus their dogs. (3) Monkeys drive the dogcart in the circus. Fats Kaplin sings words to this tune. He may have made them up but they put the monkey in the dogcart of the third kind.
