One Monday morning I got up late
And there was Mr. Monkey outside me gate
One Monday morning I got up late
There was Mr. Monkey outside me gate
Don’t know what to say de monkey won’t do
(Don’t know what to say de monkey won’t do)
My girl came over to have a drink
I came downstairs and what do you think?
The monkey had run and he let her in
He poured her a glass of me favorite gin
I don’t know what to say de monkey won’t do
(Don’t know what to say de monkey won’t do)
Well, I drink gin monkey drink gin too
(Don’t know what to say de monkey won’t do)
I ran to de yard to get a stick
But I’m tellin you friends that monkey was quick
‘Cause when I returned much to my disgrace
Mr. Monkey had my girl in a manly embrace
I went to me bath for a Burma Shave
This monkey going put me in a me grave
The entire cabinet was laid to waste
I had to shave with some Gleem toothpaste
Well by dis time I was in despair
I was using de shoebrush to brush me hair
I ask him to leave but he stayed around
He pulled de chair and I almost went down
Yessah! Play sah!Mariposa!Yep!
Well me patience run out and I’m telling you sure
Tomorrow I’m going show dat monkey de door
And if he don’t leave I’m inviting you
All dressed up no place to go
Hey monkey, when you gonna
Show your face around me?
I know all the wrongs and rights
And I just want a little light to fall on me
Hey monkey, where you been?
This lonely spiral I've been in
Hey monkey, when can we begin?
Hey monkey, where you been?
We'll I'm all messed up that's nothing new
Hey monkey, when you open up your blue eyes
I don't know if I'm wide awake or dreaming
But all I ever need is everything
Hey monkey, where you been?
This lonely spiral I've been in
Hey monkey, when can we begin?
Hey monkey, where you been?
Just get the world off your shoulders
And close your pretty blue eyes
Hey monkey, what's life without
An occasional surprise?
I got nowhere but home to go
Got Ben Folds on my radio right now
And I'm in trouble for the things I need
Hey monkey, don't you want to be needed too?
Hey monkey, where you been?
This lonely spiral I've been in
Hey monkey, when can we begin?
Hey monkey, where you been?
Hey monkey, where you been?
(tilbrook/difford)
Hey little lady have you got a cigarette to spare
I like your high heels and the shade of your hair
All those secrets you promised not to tell
I'll monkey on you baby, you've got me in your spell
I'm like a monkey up a tree
I'm like a monkey you will see
I'll monkey on you baby
If you monkey on me
Do you fancy drivin' to the house of ? ? ? ?
And I was made for lovin' and I'm lovin' you
You say you're a student, well understudy me
I'll monkey on you baby if you monkey on me
- guitar solo -
Those goody-good girl looks have bowled me over clean
Not exactly our love but then I'm not really keen
Imagine we're walkin' alone along the sand
I'll monkey on you baby and I want to hold your hand
I'm like a monkey up a tree
I'm like a monkey you will see
That I'll monkey on you baby
Tell me that you'll monkey on me
I'll monkey on you
If you monkey on me
Why can't you do it
Why can't you set your monkey free
Always giving in to it -
Do you love your monkey or do you love me
Why can't you do it
Why do I have to share my baby with a monkey
(With a monkey, with a monkey, aye, aye, aye, uh-huh)
Oh, I count to ten
But I don't know how and I don't know when
To open my eyes
If you kiss me again
Like you did just now, like you did just then
I've had the rest, now it's time I had the best
So you tell me that you won't do anymore
Well I'd write your heart a letter
But I think you know me better
If I keep on askin' baby, maybe I'll get what I'm askin' for
Why can't you do it Why can't you set your monkey free
Always giving in to it -
Do you love your monkey or do you love me
Why can't you do it
Why do I have to share my baby with a monkey
Oh I hate your friends
But I don't know how and I don't know when
To open your eyes
Yes the monkey's back again
Do you want him now like you did back then
I tried my best, but your head is such a mess
So I guess that I don't want you anymore
Well you say you care about me
That you just can't do without me
But you keep on dancin' baby
'Til that monkey has you on the floor
Why can't you do it Why can't you set your monkey free
Always giving into it
Do you love the monkey or do you love me
Why can't you do it
Why do I have to share my baby with a monkey
Don't look now
There's a monkey on your back
Don't look now
There's a monkey on you...
Hello me
are you in there
making sure you're not dead,
smelled some rotting flesh
I heard you left him alone
suns up with open roads
get down
freak out
the time is right now
Drop your things
and burn your clothes
why we're here
no one knows
watch the bombs explode
He sold you a dream
and carved you up like meat
lay down
the law
locked your heart behind bars
While you were sleeping he would whisper in your ear
The monkey will bite
better eat your poultry
till' theres no use
don't try to
ask a doctor
what's going on inside you head
just fall out and get in line
like all good soliders do
You awoke to his game
running circles in your brain
can't belive you eyes
What's up what is down
he spun you around
what's near what is far
god knows what you are
can you remember when
this began
The monkey will bite
better eat your poultry
till' theres no use
don't try to
ask you doctor
what's going on inside you head
it's pretend
it's no meaning
Why can't you do it?
Why can't you set your monkey free?
Always giving into it
Do you love your monkey or do you love me?
Why can't you do it?
Why do I have to share my baby with a monkey?
Monkey with a monkey monkey
La la la
Oh, I count to ten
But I don't know how
And I don't know when
To open my eyes
Baby if you kiss me again
Like you did just now
Like you did just then
Do it again
I've had the rest
Now it's time I had the best
So you tell me
That you won't do anymore
Well I'd write your heart a letter
But I think you know me better
If I keep on asking baby, maybe
I'll get what I'm asking for
Why can't you do it?
Why can't you set your monkey free?
Always giving in to it
Do you love your monkey or do you love me?
Why can't you do it?
Why do I have to share my baby with a monkey?
Monkey, with a monkey, monkey
La la la
Oh, I hate your friends
But I don't know how and I don't know when
To open your eyes
Yes, the monkey's back again
Do you want him now like you did back then?
I tried my best but your head is such a mess
So I guess that I don't want you anymore
Well you say you care about me
That you just can't do without me
But you keep on dancin' baby
'Til that monkey has you on the floor
Why can't you do it?
Why can't you set your monkey free?
Always giving into it
Do you love the monkey or do you love me?
Why can't you do it
Why do I have to share my baby with a monkey?
Monkey, with a monkey, monkey
La la la
Don't look now
There's a monkey on your back
Don't look now
There's a monkey on you
Don't look now
There's a monkey on your back
Don't look now
There's a monkey on you
So you tell me
That you won't do anymore
If I keep on askin' baby, maybe
I'll get what I'm askin' for
Why can't you do it?
Why can't you set your monkey free?
Always giving into it
Do you love the monkey or do you love me?
Why can't you do it?
Why do I have to share my baby with a monkey?
Monkey, with a monkey, monkey
La la la
Why can't you do it?
Why can't you set your monkey free?
Always giving into it
Do you love the monkey or do you love me?
Why can't you do it?
Why do I have to share my baby with a monkey?
Monkey, with a monkey, monkey
Oh my my
Little white lies
I swear I'm gonna make it right
This time
It's not the radio
Turn it way down low
Telling me things I do not know I know
Tonight you will be mine
Tonight the monkey dies
Tonight you will be mine
Tonight the monkey dies
Now who's to blame
You used to be the same
Now you won't let me speak your name
What a shame
It's a suicide
Shut up and drive
We're never going to make the light
But it's all right
Tonight you will be mine
Tonight the monkey dies
Tonight you will be mine
Tonight the monkey dies
Oh my my, little white lie
I swear I'm gonna make it right this time
It's like a radio turning way down low
Telling me things I do not know I know
Tonight you will be mine
Tonight the monkey dies
Tonight you will be mine
Tonight the monkey dies
Now who's to blame, we used to be the same
Now you won't let me speak your name, what a shame
It's a suicide, shut up and drive
We're never gonna make the light but it's alright
Cos tonight you will be mine
Tonight the monkey dies
Tonight you will be mine
Tonight the monkey dies
Tonight you will be mine
Tonight the monkey dies
Tonight you will be mine
Tonight the monkey dies
Oh, tonight you will be mine
the mind is all we kiss everything
we say we love it's the skin we're in
you're a retrograde a vacancy
you're the one that I love
the hate in me
lazy day on a darker breed
to have is not what it's made to be
you come alone on a mass attack
sucking your tantric suck
fooling your one-eyed cat
we don't mind
we deviate our gravy brains
set em on fire they're all the same
I am lionface
no sanchko panza
I'm riddled by you
I could've been better
I'm a monkey on a drip
sucker monkey on a drip
you take such pretty photos
when will you be worthy of your good side
where will you be
when the clouds break
and it all takes
just a little more than you have
Black sheep cum rising
All together we're gonna get an ending
Fly heap reap season
Wrapped arms embracing no reason
It was the right time of the law
On the wrong side of the track
It wasn't what? the laughter
Has it got to you sin
Like the time before mining
On the sores of 1964
It was the right time of the law
On the wrong side of the track
You never were my friend
It's like a curse and you know
When the children grow up
They will never have to sow
You teach what is taught
But the lessons that you learn
Tear you apart
When the money grows
You too will shine
When the fortune grows
Who's gonna rise
Do you know the name?
When you're on the fame?
Do you know the name?
When your names in lights
Black sheep cum rising
All together we're gonna get an ending
Black sheep what do you know?
What do you?
Swinging around
Like a monkey in a fucking zoo
You see that money
Grow money's gonna bury you
You're on the rise again you're only after
The run is after you it's all to sin
Do you know the name
When you're on fame
What do you know
What do you know
What do you
What do you
Why do you
Why do you
Swinging around
Like a monkey in a fucking zoo
You see that money grow
I'll keep your monkey
I'll treat him good
I'll talk to him
Like he talks to you
I'll cut your corn
And I'll keep it dry
And maybe someday, someday, someday maybe
You'll come back to me
Maybe someday, someday, maybe someday
You'll come back
I'll dress myself
In your finest things
I'll chew my lip
To keep it soft
I'll try forgetting
So I won't forget
And maybe someday, someday, someday maybe
You'll come back to me
Maybe someday, someday, maybe someday
You'll come back
Here comes the rapture
Of song and story
Looking just like
The icecapades
I'll play the harlot
When they make the movie
And maybe someday, someday, someday maybe
You'll come back to me
Maybe someday, someday, someday maybe
You'll come back to me
Maybe someday, someday, someday maybe
You'll come back to me
Maybe someday, someday, maybe someday
in love i turn the world upside down
wiped many a tear in the path of love
blood is the water of life down here on my own
yes i was scared in your house without doors
and i aint no monkey
and i dont like the way you love me
something theres been lost
here on my own like a bird without wings
(what is fairer?)
for the sake of your soul tear out your jugular vain
when your lonely and sad and ya havent got a friend
cant ya hear my crying cant ya see the state im in?
im leaving all of loves ashes and memories behind me
when i go
when life should go have no fear
if life should go shed no tears...
for the lies that i told i cannot be excused
for what i told in hopes not to lose
im leaving all of loves ashes and memories behind me
cause something theres been lost..
(M. Gray, N. MacDonald, G. Burtnick)
Yeah! Yeah yeah yeah
There's a new book in town, everybody wanna read it
A new look in town, everybody wanna see
A new face in town, everybody wanna feed it
A new god in town, everybody wanna plead
Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the biggest fool of all?
I see the face on my TV, looking just like me
Chorus:
You follow me and I'll follow you, the monkey see and the monkey do
You're bad for me and I'm bad for you, you can be my monkey too, yeah
There's a new riff in town, everybody wanna play
A new heart in town, everybody wanna break
A new drug in town, everybody gonna take it
A new god in town, everybody gonna pray
Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the biggest freak of all?
I see the lemming take the lead, down into the sea
(chorus)
Don't mess with me baby, ow!
(Solo)
Yeah!
There's a new riff in town, everybody wanna play
A new heart in town, everybody wanna break
A new drug in town, everybody gonna take it
A new god in town, everybody gonna pray, yeah
Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the biggest freak of all?
I see the lemming take the lead, down into the sea
A face on my TV, looking just like me
You follow me and I'll follow you, the monkey see and the monkey do
You mess with me and I'll mess with you, you can be my monkey too, yeah
You can be my monkey too, ow! You can be my monkey too, yeah
You can be my monkey, let me be your monkey
We all need a monkey too, oh
I'm sorry I misplaced your monkey
It was a careless thing to do
But are you aware I spend all my spare time
Missing you?
And I know you've been dreaming
Of a simian surprise
And all I ever do is think about you
And your lovely eyes
But I love you more than words can say
And words can say a lot
Though often they do not
I contemplate you day and night
More beautiful than any star
I'm your mate, you're my mate
And we don't need some primate
To show us what we are, right?
But I still owe you a monkey
And I'll get on it right away
But you may regret it if you ever get it
They're mischievous, so they say
But I love you more than anything
And if that sounds too vague
I'd cut off my left leg for you
And I'd avoid other girls like the plague
If you were here I'd beg you to stay
What more can I say?
She wants to go where the tide is low
And she wants to skip rocks
And play shadow games all day long
She wants to see the monkey do the tricks
And she sings, sings with the natives
Put your hands on the monkey
Take your hands off the money
Put your hands on the monkey
Run as fast as you can
'Cause we can?t make promises
In the state that we?re in, that we?re in
Sometimes she sits with the lights off
And she closes like a flower in frigid weather
Well, she?s run out of dimes
But she?s bound for a lucky streak
She?s run out of dimes
But she?s bound for a lucky streak
Put your hands on the monkey
Take your hands off the money
Put your hands on the monkey
Run as fast as you can
'Cause we can?t make promises
In the state that we?re in, state that we?re in
She wants to giggle like the girls in the schoolyard
She wants to turn into a Japanese tattoo
She wants to stop the imaginary movie cameras in her head
'Cause they follow her wherever she goes
In the state, in the state
In the state that we?re in
Put your hands on the monkey
Take your hands off the money
Put your hands on the monkey
Run as fast as you can
'Cause we can?t make promises
Put your hands on the monkey
Take your hands off the money
Put your hands on the monkey
Run as fast as you can
'Cause we can?t make promises
i wanne be your monkey baby

i wanne be your monkey baby
c'mon c'mon

Oh my darling i was born when i met you
If you don't mind now would i lie could i get you
To re-design and re-deliver me again
I'll be your baby and I'll be your father
Your little brother won't be no bother
Just born in autumn, came and i am here
I see you saw me in the mirror in half
it's so exciting that we both just laugh and laugh
The other night you were away i missed you so bad
i found me doing something desperate i was so sad
I swear i held my own hand pretending it was yours
Oh my monkey love is funny when it's so strong
Its so strong and it goes on for so, so long
"The Queen Mother of Heaven
Has grown a Peach Garden
Charming, full of buds
Rosy, blossoming, intoxicating
Each peach
Looks like a little beauty
Should you eat a peach
A long life you'll lead and The Way you'll understand
Your limbs will grow strong, your body light
Should you eat one of the ripest ones, you can fly
And eternal youth and immortality you'll enjoy

Take this magic pill so she will not be able to blow
You wanna rock it, drop it, You can't stop it
Shake it, Work it, You can't work it
Like you grown, now shake them bones
And do it like you're in your zone
I hate my job, hey
It ain't worth the pay
I don't make a lot of money
And I thought about quitting today
Like they do down south, huh
I wanna take off my shoes and run
And shake it like a monkey
Oh, Lord I'm bout to get loose
Pre-Chorus 1
Tonight…I'm gonna get a little bit rowdy
Tonight…You know it don't start without me
Tonight…We be rockin' til 6 in morning
Tonight…Move over to the store no yawnin
Chorus
Get you monkey on the floor tonight
Get your monkey on the floor tonight
(Give it to me)
Get your monkey on the floor tonight
Get you monkey on the floor tonight
(Give it to me)
You got your body here
Come get your monkey back
You got your body here
Come get your monkey back
Can't be worried about the weave tonight
Sweat the perm out girl it's alright
Fellas wanna lean with it, rock with it
It's lookin like I might wanna snap with it
I'm shakin' like the rent ain't due.
Forget about the car note too
I put my pride up on the shelf
Shakin it and jigglin' it by myself
Pre-Chorus 2
Tonight…Time to get it when you hear that sound
Tonight…DJ spinning like we're underground
Tonight…Two stepping don't work here anymore
Tonight…Time to put it down on the dance floor
Chorus
What you know about this boy right here
I see you wanna make a move but you lookin kinda scared
Singing like a soprano as I'm fading to black
I should be the one wiping the sweat up off the back
But you got this kangaroo cat all up in your ear
And just looking for ways so that you and I can chill
I'm like a stealth panther, just maneuvering to strike
So I can nibble your ear and whisper all the things you like
Take a sip of this kahlua, get your monkey on tonight
Drop down to the floor and step into the light
Pre-Chorus 2
Chorus
Roll with it, Rock with it
Lean with it, Drop it
Shake it like a monkey, Shake it like a monkey, Shake it
