Lyrics

I'm a fleabit peanut monkey
And all my friends are junkies
That's not really true
I'm a cold Italian pizza
I could use a lemon squeezer
What you do?
I've been bit and I've been tossed around
By every she-rat in this town
Have you?
And I am just a monkey man
I'm glad you are a monkey woman too
I was bitten by a boar
I was gouged and I was gored
But I pulled on through
Yeah, I'm a sack of broken eggs
I always have an unmade bed
Don't you?
And I hope we're not too messianic
Or a trifle too satanic
But we love to play the blues
And I am just a monkey man
I'm glad you are a monkey woman too
Yeah, come on!
I'm a monkey man
I'm a monkey man
I'm a monkey man
I'm a monkey, monkey man
I'm a monkey man
I'm a monkey man
I'm a monkey, mo-mo-mo-mo-monkey
I'm a monkey, mo-mo-mo-mo-monkey
I'm a monkey, mo-mo-mo-mo-monkey
Monkey, monkey man
Come on!
Ma-ma-ma-ma, ma-ma-ma-ma
Ma-ma-ma-ma, ma-ma-ma-ma
