Shock the monkey to life
Shock the monkey to life
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
Hey, hey, hey
Monkey, monkey, monkey
Don't you know you're gonna 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 any more
Darling, don't you monkey with the monkey
Hey, hey, hey
Monkey, monkey, monkey
Don't you know you're gonna shock the monkey
Hey, hey
Shock the monkey
Hey, hey, hey, yeah
(Monkey)
Wheels keep turning
(Monkey--AHHHHHHHHH!)
Something's burning
(Monkey)
Don't like it but I guess I'm learning
Shock!
Shock!
Shock! - watch the monkey get hurt, monkey
Cover me, when I sleep
Cover me, when I breathe
You throw your pearls before the swine
Make the monkey blind
Cover me, darling please
Hey, hey, hey, yeah
(Monkey)
Too much at stake
(Monkey--AHHHHHHHHHHH!)
Ground beneath me shake
(Monkey)
And the news is breaking
Shock!
Shock!
Shock! - watch the monkey get hurt, monkey
Shock the monkey
Shock the monkey
Shock the monkey to life (repeat 6 times)
Shock the monkey
Shock the monkey to life
