One Monkey Don't Stop No Show

[Verse 1]

You know, I got a letter from a friend of mine

In Newcastle upon a-Tyne the other day

He said to me, "Eric I heard you've been havin' some trouble down in the smoke with the girls"

He said, "You wanna catch that flyin' Scotsman back up here to Newcastle

'Cause we've got enough females to go around up here

And I can figure you'll find yourself a little somethin'

And because people around here don't go away stealin' each others loved ones

Away from one another like they do down there in the smoke"

He also said in the letter that, uh

[Refrain]

Things don't happen like that here on Tyne (And I believed every word he said, now)

Things don't happen like that here on Tyne (One more thing he told me now)

Things don't happen like that here on Tyne (He said to me, babe)

Things don't happen like that here on Tyne (He said, all right, all right)

[Verse 2]

So I'm sayin' to you who are listenin'

If you've been unlucky in love

And you've lost somebody in love

And you hear a voice that comes to you in the middle of the night and says

It says, "I want you to get on up"

Listen to me

"I want you to get on up and find yourself another one"

If you're havin' breakfast one morning

And out from behind the teapot a little voice says

"Listen, hey, I want you to get on up now"

If you're out in the mornin' on your job

And a voice come to you on your job and says

"Get up, get up"

And you know it's not the foreman

It's a little voice that's, uh

Said, uh, "You wanna get up, walk like there not women

Go on, find yourself somebody

That's what you'd better do"

'Cause I'll tell you one thing

There's one thing I found out

One thing I found out

Took me a long time to find it out

Yeah, it took me a long time to find it out

But I think I got it now

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]

One monkey don't stop no show (Yes, its true, baby)

One monkey don't stop no show (Don't let one monkey foul up your show)

One monkey don't stop no show (One monkey don't stop no show)

One monkey don't stop no show

[Outro]

One monkey don't stop no show (Yes, it's true, one monkey don't stop)

One monkey don't stop no show (Yeah, yeah, hey)

One monkey don't stop no show (Yeah, yeah, hey)
