Let me tell you a story |
|
About two kids in the city |
|
See they both have a problem with life |
|
And it isn't very pretty |
|
There's a kid called Timmy |
|
He used to be pretty witty |
|
But then too many rides on the horse |
|
Got him hooked and it's a pity |
|
Cause now he's got a monkey |
|
He's got a monkey can't fight it |
|
Monkey |
|
On his back he can't deny it |
|
Monkey |
|
He found a dragon that bites |
|
A hole in his arm at night |
|
Where all the money goes |
|
Monkey, monkey on his back |
|
Monkey, monkey on his back |
|
A dirty monkey |
|
Well there's a girl called Sally |
|
She walks the streets in the city |
|
She works down on the corner every night |
|
Gives her money up to Willy |
|
You see her man's Big Willy |
|
And when he met her she was pretty |
|
But he gave her a habit that she didn't want |
|
Now that's a pity |
|
Cause now she's got a monkey |
|
She's got a monkey can't fight it |
|
Monkey |
|
She's gotta walk the streets to buy it |
|
Monkey |
|
She found a dragon that bites |
|
A hole in her arm at night |
|
Where all the money goes |
|
Monkey, monkey on his back |
|
Monkey, monkey on his back |
|
A dirty monkey |
|
Well now listen everybody |
|
Cause there's a moral to the story |
|
Clean up your act |
|
Get the monkey off your back |
|
Or you'll be sorry |
|
Keep yourself clean |
|
Cause the monkey plays mean |
|
He'll put a knife in your back |
|
Then the man in the black |
|
Will show you a dragon that bites |
|
And you'll wind up with a |
|
Monkey, monkey on your back |
|
Monkey, monkey on your back |
|
Monkey, monkey on your back |
|
Monkey, monkey on your back |
