[Verse 1] You know, I got a letter from a friend of mine In Newcastle upon a-Tyne the other day He said to me, "Eric I heard you've been havin' some trouble down in the smoke with the girls" He said, "You wanna catch that flyin' Scotsman back up here to Newcastle 'Cause we've got enough females to go around up here And I can figure you'll find yourself a little somethin' And because people around here don't go away stealin' each others loved ones Away from one another like they do down there in the smoke" He also said in the letter that, uh [Refrain] Things don't happen like that here on Tyne (And I believed every word he said, now) Things don't happen like that here on Tyne (One more thing he told me now) Things don't happen like that here on Tyne (He said to me, babe) Things don't happen like that here on Tyne (He said, all right, all right) [Verse 2] So I'm sayin' to you who are listenin' If you've been unlucky in love And you've lost somebody in love And you hear a voice that comes to you in the middle of the night and says It says, "I want you to get on up" Listen to me "I want you to get on up and find yourself another one" If you're havin' breakfast one morning And out from behind the teapot a little voice says "Listen, hey, I want you to get on up now" If you're out in the mornin' on your job And a voice come to you on your job and says "Get up, get up" And you know it's not the foreman It's a little voice that's, uh Said, uh, "You wanna get up, walk like there not women Go on, find yourself somebody That's what you'd better do" 'Cause I'll tell you one thing There's one thing I found out One thing I found out Took me a long time to find it out Yeah, it took me a long time to find it out But I think I got it now Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah [Chorus] One monkey don't stop no show (Yes, its true, baby) One monkey don't stop no show (Don't let one monkey foul up your show) One monkey don't stop no show (One monkey don't stop no show) One monkey don't stop no show [Outro] One monkey don't stop no show (Yes, it's true, one monkey don't stop) One monkey don't stop no show (Yeah, yeah, hey) One monkey don't stop no show (Yeah, yeah, hey)
