So, your friends have been telling you I'm out of my mind
Acting all wild and weird
Shouting and screeching, bouncing off the walls
Swinging from the chandeliers
I've been running thru the neon jungle
I've been chasing every woman in town
When you turn a man into a monkey
That monkey's gonna monkey around

Now, wait until you see my new girlfriend
I picked her up down at the zoo
She's got rings in her nose, glitter on her toes
And a very well placed tatoo
Now that I've been up on the highwire
You ain't ever gonna get me down
When you turn a man into a monkey
That monkey is gonna monkey around

Well, once you had me dancing at the end of your chain
Begging for your small change love
I was jumping thru hoops, doing loop the loops
Yeah but, girl I finally had enough
So when you see me out rocking in my little red hat
Going ape all over town
Well, you made a man into a monkey
That monkey is gonna monkey around

Oh, monkey with me now

Well, once you had me dancing at the end of your chain
Begging for your small change love
I was jumping thru hoops, doing loop the loops
Yeah but, girl I finally had enough
So when you see me out rocking in my little red hat
Going ape all over town
Well, you made a man into a monkey
And that monkey is gonna monkey around
Yeah, baby
You made a man into a monkey
This monkey's gonna monkey around
