I’ve been around for a thousand years
Chased those tails to the top of the trees
If you see me dancing to that jungle beat
Ask Joe Banana who’s running the street
Monkey do the dance
Monkey do the dance tonight
I’ve drank enough whiskey I could sink a small town
It ain’t for no reason that I wear this crown
You won’t hear me crying, I ain’t singing the blues
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
Monkey do the dance
Monkey do the dance tonight
I’ve poked a bunch of souls, I’ve ripped them to shreds
I’ve lurked there all along, from whites to reds
I know them raw, inside & out
I’m the monkey king, stop messing about
Monkey do the dance
Monkey do the dance tonight
Monkey do the dance
Monkey do the dance tonight
