Let me tell you a story
About two kids in the city
See they both got a problem with life
And it isn't very pretty
There's a kid called timmy
He use to be pretty witty
But then too many rides on the horse got him hooked and it's a pity
Chorus
Cause now he's got a monkey
He's got a monkey can't fight it
Monkey it's on his back he can't deny it
Monkey
He found a dragon that bites a hole in his arm at night
Monkey, monkey on his back
Dirty monkey, monkey on his back
Monkey on his back, dirty monkey
Well there's a girl called sally
She walks the streets in the city
She works down on the corner every night
Gives her money up to willy
You see her man's big willy
And when he met her she was pretty
But he gave her a habit that she didn't want
That's a pity
Chorus
Cause now she's got a monkey
She's got a monkey can't fight it
Shes gotta walk the streets to buy it dirty
She found a dragon that bites a hole in her arm at night
Monkey, monkey on her back
Dirty monkey, monkey on her back
Monkey on her back, dirty monkey
Well now listen everybody
Cause there's a moral to the story
Clean up your act get the monkey off your back or you'll be sorry
Keep yourself clean cause the monkey plays mean
He'll put a knife in your back then the man in the black will show you a dragon that bites and you'll wind up with a monkey
Monkey on your back
Dirty monkey on your back monkey
