By every she-rat in this town
Have you, babe?
Well, 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
Yes, I’m a sack of broken eggs
I always have an unmade bed
Don’t you?
Well, I hope we’re not too messianic
Or a trifle too satanic
We love to play the blues
Well I am just a monkey man
I’m glad you are a monkey, monkey woman too, babe
I’m a monkey
I’m a monkey
I’m a monkey man
I’m a monkey man
I’m a monkey...
