Lyrics

I took a walk around my block
Just keeping it to myself
But before I got too far, I noticed in a car
I must have been the monkey man

I’ve heard strange stories of this guy
He runs around naked at night
He never gets cold cuz’ he’s hairy so I’m told
The beastie called the monkey man

I took a walk around my block
Just keeping it to myself
But before I got too far, I noticed in a car
I must have been the monkey man

You can see him spending money on pizza
His favorite is bananas and cheese
He never counts his change
‘cuz he doesn’t have a brain
That’s why he’s the monkey man

With a quarter ton working as an asset
Nobody messes with his stuff
But he’s gentle as a lamb
After coming home from Nam
Mild mannered monkey man

I want to meet the monkey man
I want to be the monkey man
Treat me like the monkey man
Go on and beat me, I'm the monkey man
Come on and shoot me I’m the monkey man
Go on just kill me I'm the monkey man

Poor old monkey man
