Ricky's been kick-ing the gong
lickety split didn't take too long
A junkie's sick a monkey's strong
That's what's wrong
Well I guess he's been messing around downtown
so sad to see the man losing ground
winding down behind closed doors
on all fours
Mama don't you call him my name;
he can't hear you anymore
Even if he seems the same to you
that's a stranger to your door
Ask him what's he come here for
Oh my God a monkey can move a man
La la la
La la la
