What life was like in the yard
  'Cause you can't ever think about dying
  And it just makes a person get hard

  I keep wondering if my friends feel like I do
  I don't know how someone could stand it
  To go through what I'm now going through

  So every night we party
  And every night we get too high
  And I put myself so close to death
  'Til I think that I ain't gonna die

  And I realize just a little
  Why sometimes I like to feel like dirt
  It's the only thing in this day and age
  That can make me feel close to the earth

  But if I ever get to heaven
  If I ever reach that door
  I will listen why I had to go through this life
  Why they just couldn't take me before

  But everybody's going to Heaven
  'Cause already we've all been through Hell

  We're gonna laugh all night and cry all day
  Watch the big monkey do the King Kong Reggae
  A Cadillac and a Chevrolet
  Watch the big monkey do the King Kong Reggae
  The president of the U. S. A.
  Watch the big monkey do the King Kong Reggae
  Everybody fall down on your knees and pray
  Here comes that big monkey doing the King Kong Reggae
