1. I ve heard people say now when you, young and strong
One Monkey dont stop the show, but I cant get tease that from (you see)
I was having a Monkey, just like my friend
And the Day I ve lost the Monkey, the show came to an end
I m talking about that kind of Monkey, that will jump on your back
And keep you shaking like you doing a floor show act
Stay away from that Monkey (and teach yourself right)
You dont need that Monkey (just stay up tight)
Mh you cant hang on to that Monkey mess up your whole life
2. You can call me a fool or get mad at you
Because I use to do things that only a fool would do
A lot of people have Monkey for pet in their House
But that is not the kind, I m talking about
I m talking about that kind of Monkey, that will jump on your back
And keep you shaking like you doing a floor show act
Stay away from that Monkey (and teach yourself right)
You dont need that Monkey (just stay up tight)
Mh you cant hang on to that Monkey mess up your whole life
3. And I ve lived with that Monkey both, day and night
I dont know it all, but I can give you an advice
Dont be a dropped out Baby if youre dedication
Thats one of them animal, in this generation
I m talking about that kind of Monkey, that will jump on your back
And keep you shaking like you doing a floor show act
Stay away from that Monkey (and teach yourself right)
You dont need that Monkey (just stay up tight)
Mh you cant hang on to that Monkey mess up your whole life
Guitar Solo 2x Intro, (8x) ...
4. I love that kind to predict, I m tell you thats it
But since we talk Monkey talk, let me tell you this
Dont play around with that Monkey (Yeah 2x) because it dont pay (Mhh Mh)
If you see a Monkey coming (Yeah 2x) roll it all away
I m talking about that kind of Monkey, that will jump on your back
And keep you shaking like you doing a floor show act
Stay away from that Monkey (and teach yourself right)
You dont need that Monkey (just stay up tight)
Mh you cant hang on to that Monkey mess up your whole life
Intro, (8x) ...
Na na na na... Stay away from this Monkey, Baby I know you feel alright now,
because I feel good....
