Your Monkey Won't Be Home Tonight Songtext
You treat me just as if
I were a monkey in a cage
Your friends all think it's clever
they think it's the latest rage
They point at me behind my back
and say now ain't that cute
But when you get home tonight
you'll find your monkey's flew the coop
And I'll be walkin' the dog
a livin' high on the hog
blowin' goin' roarin' every night
You'll find me struttin' my strot
yes I'll be cuttin' the rug
Don't wait up cause your monkey won't be home tonight
[ guitar ]
Whatever suits you fancy
it's why you think I should do
Jump up and down turn round and round
and then jump through the hook
But I should swing from limb to limb
so everyone can see
Well I may do some swingin'
but it won't be from a tree
And I'll be walkin' the dog...
Don't wait up
cause your monkey won't be home tonight
I were a monkey in a cage
Your friends all think it's clever
they think it's the latest rage
They point at me behind my back
and say now ain't that cute
But when you get home tonight
you'll find your monkey's flew the coop
And I'll be walkin' the dog
a livin' high on the hog
blowin' goin' roarin' every night
You'll find me struttin' my strot
yes I'll be cuttin' the rug
Don't wait up cause your monkey won't be home tonight
[ guitar ]
Whatever suits you fancy
it's why you think I should do
Jump up and down turn round and round
and then jump through the hook
But I should swing from limb to limb
so everyone can see
Well I may do some swingin'
but it won't be from a tree
And I'll be walkin' the dog...
Don't wait up
cause your monkey won't be home tonight
