One Monkey dont stop the show, but I cant get tease that from (you see)
   Eb5            
I was having a Monkey, just like my friend

And the Day I ve lost the Monkey, the show came to an end

Refrain:
   Eb5                              
I m talking about that kind of Monkey, that will jump on your back
   Bb5                              
And keep you shaking like you doing a floor show act
   Eb5                              
Stay away from that Monkey (and teach yourself right)
   Bb5                              
You dont need that Monkey (just stay up tight)
