SHOCK THE MONKEY

This is a song about jealousy
It\’s called, \”Shock the Monkey\”
Cover me when I run
Cover me through the fire
Something knocked me out the trees
Now I\’m on my knees
Cover me, don\’t you monkey with the monkey
Monkey, monkey, monkey
Don\’t you know you\’re going to shock the monkey
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 anymore
Darling, don\’t you monkey with the monkey
Monkey, monkey, monkey
Don\’t you know you\’re going to shock the 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
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, don\’t you monkey with the monkey
Monkey, monkey, monkey
Don\’t you know you\’re going to shock the 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
Shock!
Shock!
Shock!
Watch the monkey get hurt, monkey
Shock the monkey
Shock the monkey
Shock the monkey
Shock the monkey to life
(Shock the monkey to life)
Shock the monkey to life, hey, hey
(Shock the monkey to life)
Shock the monkey to life
(Shock the monkey to life)
Shock the monkey to life, hey, hey
(Shock the monkey to life)
Hey, hey, hey
Shock the monkey
Shock the monkey
Shock the monkey
Shock the monkey to life
How much am I paying you?
