MONKEY SHINES Lyrics

I was drinkin' with my buddy, hangin' at the city zoo

Mockin' the monkeys, and grinnin' actin' like we were fools

Scratchin' our butts, staggerin' around, pretendin' we were hangin' from a tree

My girlfriend stepped out of the crowd, and turned and looked straight at me

And she said, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, still doin' monkey shines

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, monkey see, monkey do

You're still seein' the evil, hearin' the evil, speakin' the evil

I'm gonna throw your tail out the door, your monkey shines don't shine anymore

You're just a party animal, wild and free

Swingin' from dusk till dawn, bein' all you can be

Drinkin' and dancin' till the money is gone, closin' down the bars before you come on home

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, monkey drinkin' shine

And she said, I warned you about your crazy life times before

Your monkey shines, you won't stop, so you're out the door

I'll leave you hangin', swingin' by your tail

When you hit the ground, you're gonna realize you fell

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, monkey drinkin' shine

She said as she walked away, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, still doin' monkey shines

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, monkey see, monkey do

You're still seein' the evil, hearin' the evil, speakin' the evil

I'm gonna throw your tail out the door, your monkey shines don't shine anymore

I'm gonna throw your tail out the door, your monkey shines don't shine anymore

I'm gonna throw your tail out the door, your monkey shines don't shine for me no more
