Monkey Island (Original Stereo Desk Mix)
[Chorus]
We're living on monkey island, baby
We're right in the middle of a zoo
We're living on monkey island, baby
Pretend 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]
We're living on monkey island, baby
We're right in the middle of a zoo
Living on monkey island, baby
Pretend 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

[Instrumental Bridge]
[Verse 3]
With my paisley tie and my one-button suit
Is 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]
We're living on monkey island, baby
We're right in the middle of a zoo
Been on monkey island, baby
Pretending to be a monkey too

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