Lyrics Monkey Around - Delbert McClinton

Monkey Around

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
