Shock the Monkey

Cover me when I run
Cover me through the fire
Something knocked me out the trees, now I’m on my knees
Cover me, darling please

Monkey, monkey, monkey
Don’t you know you’re going to shock the monkey?
Hey, hey

Fox the fox, rat on the rat
You can ape the ape, I know about that
There is one thing you must be sure of
I can’t take anymore
Darling, don’t you monkey with the monkey
Hey, hey

Monkey, monkey, monkey
Don’t you know you’re going to shock the monkey?
Hey, hey
Shock the monkey
Hey, hey, yeah

Monkey
Wheels keep turning
A monkey
Something’s burning
Monkey
Don’t like it but I guess I’m learning
Shock, shock, shock
Watch the monkey get hurt, monkey
Shock, shock, shock
Watch the monkey get hurt, monkey
