''Monkey Time''**lf****lf**Back in ''64 I was feeling 63**lf**The strangest sort of feeling**lf**Started creeping over me**lf**It''s not the kind of feeling**lf**You would easily forget**lf**My head started burning**lf**And my knees began to sweat**lf****lf**I figured I was crazy**lf**So I went back to my chair**lf**But I looked into my mirror**lf**And I just wasn''t there**lf**Just then the window shattered**lf**And a monkey hit the floor**lf**Looked like it was time for me**lf**To make it to the door**lf****lf**But the monkey grabbed my coat**lf**And took away my hat**lf**And I don''t remember**lf**What happened after that**lf**Except my friends hear the story**lf**About how I left it all behind**lf**Seems ever since that day**lf**I''ve had that monkey on my mind**lf**Tried to do my best**lf**And make something of my life**lf****lf**So I cut off all my relatives**lf**And then I left my wife**lf****lf**I''ve tried a hundred cures**lf**Anything that I could find**lf****lf**But you know life ain''t easy**lf**With a monkey on your mind**lf****lf**Every time I make my mind up**lf**I''m really gonna try**lf**Well that monkey starts jumping**lf**And looks me in the eye**lf****lf**Oh dig the monkey**lf****lf**Well something exploded**lf**When the monkey got loaded**lf**And we went out on the town**lf**The monkey got so drunk**lf**He started getting funky**lf**It was hard to hold the poor boy down**lf****lf**He did the boogaloo the shoogaloo**lf**The Eskimo the Hindu**lf**He even made the teenage queen**lf**Oh the joint started leaping**lf**Everybody was a-freaking**lf**The greatest show they''d ever seen**lf**Then someone started screaming**lf**And I woke up from my dreaming**lf**Tried to get myself realigned**lf****lf**But it''s all right**lf**And it all comes easy**lf**When you got a monkey on your mind**lf****lf**Dig the monkey**lf**Oh one more time**lf**Dig the monkey**lf**
