Monkey Around

Delbert Mcclinton

So your friends have been telling you I'm out of my mind

Acting awful wild and weird

Shoutin' and screechin', bouncing off the walls

Swingin' from the chandelier

Yeah, I've been running through the neon jungle

Chasing every woman in town

When you make a man into a monkey

That monkey's gonna monkey around

Wait until 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 highwire

You ain't never gonna get me down

You made a man into a monkey

Now the monkey's gonna monkey around

Once you had me dancin' at the end of your chain

Begging for some small change love

I was jumpin' through hoops, doing loop-de-loops

But, girl, I've finally had enough

So when you see me out rocking in my little red hat

Going ape all over town

You made a man into a monkey

That monkey's gonna monkey around

Once you had me dancin' at the end of your chain

Begging for some small change love

I was jumpin' through hoops, doing loop-de-loops

But, girl, I've finally had enough

So when you see me out rocking in my little red hat

Going ape all over town

You made a man into a monkey

That monkey's gonna monkey around

Yeah, you made a man into a monkey

Now the monkey's gonna monkey around
