The 13th Floor Elevators
Monkey Island
[Chorus]
Living on monkey island, baby
Right in the middle of a zoo
Living on monkey island, baby
Pretending to be a monkey, too

[Verse 1]
Well, here I am on monkey island
Hiding behind a rock
I'm all dressed up in my monkey suit
Pretending to be something I'm not

[Chorus]
Living on monkey island, baby
Right in the middle of a zoo
Living on monkey island, baby
Pretending to be a monkey, too

[Verse 2]
Well, there's one thing about these monkeys, baby
They don't know I'm around
But, uh, that's pretty good, 'cause if they knew
They'd probably come and put me down

[Verse 3]
With my paisley tie and my one-button suit
It's about as close as I can get
'Cause I guess that I must be doing okay
'Cause they haven't come and got me yet
[Chorus]
Living on monkey island, baby
Right in the middle of a zoo
Living on monkey island, baby

[Outro]
Pretending to be a monkey, too
Pretending to be a monkey, too
Pretending to be a monkey
