Monkey in my mind
Swinging, Swaying,
Tearing up the Turf

Don't know
How he got here
Where he came from

Just smile and look away
Maybe he'll ignore
Maybe he won't take notice

But then he sees it
His hand snatching out
Swinging on the goat

Bad Monkey, Bad Monkey
But he doesn't listen
Couldn't honestly care less

Somedays I am that Monkey
Others he is me
Still others we both play hookie

I'm snapping from the inside
Going a little Ape
And a whole lot Bananas

Would love to take you
Care for a swing on my vine
I'll even search you for fleas

Taking me on my knees
Me your Tarzan
You my luscious Leprechaun
