Well I stopped in at the body shop said to the guy

I want stereo fm installed in my teeth
And take this mole off my back
And put it on my cheek

And uh while I'm here, why don't you give me s
F those high-heeled feet, and he sai'd
Listen there's no guarantee natures got rules
And natures got laws
But listen look out for the monkeys paw and I sai'd:
Whaaat, he said: the gift of life
A twist of fate
It's a roll of the die it's a free lunch a free ride
But natures got rules and natures got laws
And if you cross her look out
It's the monkeys paw it's sayin: haw haw
It's G gimme five, it's sayin: bye bye
I know a man he lost his head he said:
The way I feel i'd be better off dead
He said: I got everything
I ever wanted now I can't give it up it's a trap, just
Ck, the gift of life
It's a leap of faith it's a roll of the die
It's a free lunch a free ride the gift of life
It's a shot in the dark it's the call of the wild
It's the big wheel the big ride
Atures got rules and nature
S got laws and if you cross her look out

It's the monkeys paw you better stop
Look around
Listen, you- could- be- an- oca- rina- salesman-
Going- from- door- to- door, or- would- you- like-
Wing- on- a- star- and- carry- moon- beams- home
Or- next- time- around- you- could- be- a- small- bug-
Or- would- you- like- to- be- a- fish

The gift of life it's a twist of fate it's a roll
E die it's a free lunch a free ride the gift of life
It's a shot in the dark it's the call of the wild
It's the big wheel the big ride but natures got rules
And natures got laws and if you cro
R look out, it's the monkeys paw it's singin:

Gimme five, it's singin: bye bye
