Monkey Business

Lyrics

[Intro] Well, outside my window there's a whole lotta trouble comin' The cartoon killers and the rag cover clones Stack heels kickin' rhythm of social circumcision I can't close the closet on a shoebox full of old bones Come on [Verse 1] Ah, kangaroo lady with her bourbon in a pouch Can't afford the rental on a bamboo couch Collectin' back her favors 'cause her well is running dry I know her act is terminal, but she ain't gonna die, no [Verse 2] Slim intoxicado, drinkin' dime store hooch Is always in a circle with his part-time pooch And Little Creepy's playin' dollies in the New York rain Thinkin' Bowie's just a knife [Pre-Chorus] Whoa, the pain I ain't seen the sun since I don't know when The freaks come out at nine And it's twenty to ten What's this funk That you call junk? To me it's just monkey business Get back [Verse 3] A blind man in a box and he'll probably die The village kids laugh as they walk by A psycho on the edge of a human garbage dump But the vultures in the sewers are tellin' [Pre-Chorus] Him to jump Into the fire From the fryin' pan Trippin' on his tongue For a cool place to stand Where's this shade That you've got it made? To me it's just monkey business [Chorus] (Monkey business) Slippin' off the track (Monkey business) Jungle in black (Ain't your business) If I got no monkey on my back (Monkey business) Slippin' off the track (Monkey business) Jungle in black (Ain't your business) If I got no monkey on my back [Bridge] The Vaseline gypsies and silicone souls Dressed to the society The hypocrite heartbeat and cheap alibis A-can't get you by that a-monkey Oh, m-m-m-m-m-m-monkey, m-monkey [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] (Monkey business) Slippin' off the track (Monkey business) Jungle in black (Ain't your business) If I got no monkey on my back (Monkey business) Slippin' on the track (Monkey business) Jungle in black (Ain't your business) If I got no monkey on my back [Outro] (Monkey business) You can't tell me I got the business (Monkey business) (Ain't your business) No monkey on my back, yeah-yeah, cuh Monkey business, 'ness, business Don't give me no business, boy
