Monkey

She wants to go where the tide is low And she wants to skip rocks And play shadow games all day long She wants to see the monkey do the tricks And she sings, sings with the natives

Put your hands on the monkey Take your hands off the money Put your hands on the monkey Run as fast as you can 'Cause we can? t make promises In the state that we? re in, that we? re in

Sometimes she sits with the lights off And she closes like a flower in frigid weather Well, she? s run out of dimes But she? s bound for a lucky streak She? s run out of dimes But she? s bound for a lucky streak

Put your hands on the monkey Take your hands off the money Put your hands on the monkey Run as fast as you can 'Cause we can? t make promises In the state that we? re in, state that we? re in

She wants to giggle like the girls in the schoolyard She wants to turn into a Japanese tattoo She wants to stop the imaginary movie cameras in her head 'Cause they follow her wherever she goes

In the state, in the state In the state that we? re in

Put your hands on the monkey Take your hands off the money Put your hands on the monkey Run as fast as you can 'Cause we can? t make promises

Put your hands on the monkey Take your hands off the money Put your hands on the monkey Run as fast as you can 'Cause we can? t make promises In the state that we? re in
