Lyrics

[00:01.93] Right now, by the miracle of recording, we're going to go to a happy song
[00:08.06] A song that they televised nationwide - we had so many requests for them to do it again that that's exactly what they did
[00:17.23] So right now, by the miracle of recording
[00:22.63] Sing the song that probably you haven't heard before
[00:26.19] But I'm sure after you hear it this time, you'll want to be hearing it again
[00:32.89] It's the Monkey Song!
[00:35.44] It ain't the crutches, it's the limp
[00:40.35] Not what you lost, it's the things you couldn't find
[00:45.77] Don't blame the hooker, charge the pimp
[00:50.61] Nothing gets stolen, it's just stuff you leave behind
[00:56.00] It ain't really the darkness that you curse
[01:01.15] But how it feels when the sun refuse to shine
[01:06.15] It's not the future that you fear
[01:11.06] But more the feeling that the past is gonna catch you in the hand
[01:18.30][02:51.03] So hands up if you wanna do it again (do it again)
[01:23.42][02:56.20] Say right now, wanna do it again, do it again?
[01:28.91][01:39.39][03:01.79][03:11.97][03:22.10][03:32.57] Monkey girl
[01:32.09][01:42.45][03:04.90][03:35.82] I wanna be your monkey man
[01:48.66][01:57.22][02:03.03][03:42.22][03:46.10][03:50.77] Let's do it again (do it again)
[02:06.11][03:54.63] (It's the monkey song)
[02:08.25] It ain't the needle... it's the pricks
[02:13.12] You could take the lies, but for the smiles they hide behind
[02:18.30] Don't mind the bottles, just the bricks
[02:23.25] A man is just a monkey in a suit and tie
[02:28.68] It ain't the complex, it's the cure
[02:33.92] Ain't no religion, just a hole to hide inside
[02:39.07] Don't mind the fire, but how it burns
[02:44.24] And this is not the way, the way you would have wanted things to end
[03:15.21] I wanna be your monkey man (do it again)
[03:25.53] I wanna be your monkey man (monkey man)
[03:56.81] And all the people said - amen! Thank you girls, that's great. They'll sing again for us in just a moment, and that's gonna be, that's gonna be something special, what're they gonna sing next?
