[Chorus 1: Jon Fratelli]
Hallelu, hallelu, halle hallelu-jah
She wants my soul and she wants yours too, yeah
Hallelu, hallelu, halle hallelu-jah
Better think fast or she'll shoot right through you

[Verse 1: Jon Fratelli]
Pretty boy medicine dreams of sand
You better leave now while you still can stand
A body has to eat but the plate's half full
It don't make sense to me

[Chorus 2: Jon Fratelli]
Hallelu, hallelu, halle hallelu-jah
She only lived once and she never out grew you
Hallelu, hallelu, halle hallelu-jah
She won't bring nothing but bad luck to you

[Verse 2: Jon Fratelli]
Guaranteed soul crush never in doubt
You made no sense on the wrong way out
Monkey man couldn't even get no joy
It don't make sense to me

[Bridge: Jon Fratelli]
Hallelu, hallelu, halle hallelu-jah
Hallelu, hallelu, halle hallelu-jah
[Chorus 3: Jon Fratelli]
Hallelu, hallelu, halle hallelu-jah
She wouldn't dedicate crooked love song to you
Hallelu, hallelu, halle hallelu-jah
You know she makes a livin' lookin' straight right through you

[Version 3: Jon Fratelli]
Well, everybody cries when alone, my god
The girls all shake and the boys applaud
Monkey man livin' 'neath the stars on fire
It don't make sense to me
Monkey man couldn't even get no joy
It don't make sense to me

[Bridge: Jon Fratelli]
Hallelu, hallelu, halle hallelu-jah
Hallelu, hallelu, halle hallelu-jah
Hallelu, hallelu, halle hallelu-jah
Hallelu, hallelu, halle hallelu-jah

[Outro: Charles Bukowski]
I come from San Pedro
To put Redondo Beach on the map
I come from San Pedro
To put Redondo Beach on the map
I come from San Pedro
To put Redondo Beach on the map
I come from San Pedro
To put Redondo Beach on the map
