Monkey Man

[Verse 1]

I'm a flea-bit peanut monkey

All my friends are junkies

That's not really true

I'm a cold Italian pizza

I could use a lemon squeezer

Would you do?

But I've been bit, and I've been tossed around

By every she-rat in this town

Have you, babe?

[Refrain]

Well, I am just a monkey man

I'm glad you are a monkey woman too

[Verse 2]

I was bitten by a boar

I was gouged, and I was gored

But I pulled on through

Yes, I'm a sack of broken eggs

I always have an unmade bed

Don't you?

Well, I hope we're not too messianic

Or a trifle too satanic

We love to play the blues

[Refrain]

Well, I am just a monkey man

I'm glad you are a monkey, monkey woman too, babe

[Instrumental break]

[Outro]

I'm a monkey! I'm a monkey!

I'm a monkey, babe!  I'm a monkey, babe!

I'm a monkey! I'm a monkey! I'm a monkey! I'm a monkey!

M-m-m-monkey! M-m-m-m-monkey! I'm a m-m-m-monkey!

M-m-m-ma ma ma ma!

Ma ma ma ma ma

Ma ma ma ma ma monkey!

Ah! I'm a monkey!

Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! ....

[Ad-libs continue into the fade]
