Monkey Man (Live 2003) Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
I'm a fleabit peanut monkey
All my friends are junkies
That's not really true

[Verse 2]
I'm a cold Italian pizza
I could use a lemon squeezer
What'd ya do?

[Verse 3]
Well, I've been bit and I've been tossed around
By every she-rat in this town
Have you, babe?

[Refrain]
Well, I am just a monkey man
I'm glad you are a monkey woman too

[Verse 4]
I was bitten by a boar
I was gouged and I was gored
But I pulled on through
[Verse 5]
Yes, I'm a sack of broken eggs
I always have an unmade bed
Don't you?

[Verse 6]
Well, I hope we're not too messianic
Or a trifle too satanic
But we love to play the blues

[Refrain]
Well I am just a monkey man
I'm glad you are a monkey woman too
Babe!
C'mon!

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
I'm a monkey man! I'm a monkey man!
I'm a monkey! Monkey man!
I'm a monkey man! I'm a monkey man!
I'm a monkey! M-m-m-m-monkey!
I'm a monkey! M-m-m-m-monkey!
I'm a monkey! M-m-m-m-monkey!
I'm a monkey! Monkey man!
C'mon!
[Outro]
My-my-my-my-my-my-my-my
My-my-my-my-my-my-my-my

[Audience Applause]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
