[Verse 1]
I'm a fleabit peanut monkey
All my friends are junkies
That's not really true
I'm a cold Italian pizza
I could use a lemon squeezer
What you do?
But, I've been bit and I've been tossed around
By every she-rat in this town
Have you, babe?

[Refrain]
Well, I am just a monkey man
I'm glad you are a monkey woman too

[Verse 2]
I was bitten by a boar
I was gouged and I was gored
But I pulled on through
Yes, I'm a sack of broken eggs
I always have an unmade bed
Don't you?
Well, I hope we're not too messianic
Or a trifle too satanic
We love to play the blues
[Refrain]
Well, I am just a monkey man
I'm glad you are a monkey, monkey woman too, babe

[Outro]
I'm a monkey! I'm a monkey!
I'm a monkey babe! I'm a monkey babe!
I'm a monkey! I'm a monkey! I'm a monkey! I'm a monkey!
M-m-m-monkey! M-m-m-m-monkey! I'm a m-m-m-monkey!
M-m-m-ma ma ma ma!
Ma ma ma ma ma
Ma ma ma ma ma monkey!
Ah! I'm a monkey!
Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! ....
