Monkey Around - Delbert McClinton

So your friends have been telling you

I’m out of my mind

Acting all wild and wierd

Shoutin' and screechin

Bouncing off the walls

Ans swinging from the chandeliers

Yeah, I’ve been running through then neon jungle

I’ve been chasing every woman in town

When you turn a man into a monkey

That monkey’s gonna monkey around

Now wait til' you see my new girlfriend

I picked her up down at the zoo

She’s got rings in her nose

Glitter on her toes

And a very well placed tattoo

Now that i’ve been up on the high wire

You ain’t ever gonna get me down

When you turn a man into a monkey

That monkey’s gonna monkey around

Chourus

Well once you had me dancin' at the end of your chain

Beggin for your small change love

I was jumping through hoops

Doing loop-dee-loops

Yeah, but girl i finally had enough

So when you see me out rockin'

In my little red hat

Goin' ape all over town

Well you turned a man into a monkey

And that monkey’s gonna monkey around

Yeah baby, You made a man into a monkey

This monkey’s gonna monkey around
