This monkey's no friend of mine
I try to act straight but he's on cloud number nine
He's got a cup made of tin
And it's 'cause of him you won't let me in

verse 2: 

| G#5 | C#5 | F5 C#5 | F5 D#5 |  2x

He bangs a drum so i can get no sleep
Well he's a monkey but he can't be beat

Bridge (same as before)

Head over heels on banana peel
I'm getting confused as to what i feel
And every time i try to speak
He always puts his monkeytongue in my cheek

Chorus:

| C5 | F5(I) | A#5 | D#5 |
| C5 | F5(I) | C#5 | D#5 |

Oh my my - i'd do anything to make him die
But then i see there's nothing i can do
The monkey's just a part of me

I got a monkey singing in my brain
I should have known already we're the same

But then i see there's nothing i can do
The monkey's just a part of me

Verse 4:

| G#5 | C#5 | F5 C#5 | F5 D#5 |  2x

I got some monkey business to attend
I think i'll ask him if he'd hold my hand

Bridge

And ask him to be a friend of mine
Together we'll fly up to cloud number nine
And share his cup made of tin
Maybe then you'd like to let us in

Chorus

| C5 | F5(I) | A#5 | D#5 |
| C5 | F5(I) | C#5 | D#5 |

Oh my my - i did everything to make him die
But now i see there's nothing ican do
The monkey's just a part of me

Outro:

| G#5 | C#5 | F5 C#5 | F5 D#5 | G#5...

I got some monkey business to attend
