INTRO (MAIN RIFF
verse 1
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, hey, monkey, monkey, monkey
Don't you know when you're going to shock the monkey
verse 2
Fox the fox, rat up 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, hey, monkey, monkey, monkey
Don't you know when you're going to shock the monkey
MIDDLE 8
Hey, hey, hey, hey (Monkey) Wheels keep turning
(Monkey) Something's burning
(Monkey) Don't like it but I guess I'm learning
Shock!
Shock!
Shock!
Watch the monkey get hurt, monkey
INTERLUDE (MAIN RIFF)
verse 3
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
MIDDLE 8
Hey, hey, hey, hey (Monkey) Too much at stake
(Monkey) Ground beneath me shake
(Monkey) And the news is breaking
Shock!
Shock!
Shock!
Watch the monkey get hurt, monkey
CODA (see above)
Shock the monkey
Shock the monkey
Shock the monkey to life
Shock the monkey to life
Shock the monkey to life
Shock the monkey to life
Shock the monkey (Shock the monkey!)
Shock the monkey (Shock the monkey!)
Shock the monkey
