Run Red Run

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Oh, Red went and bought himself a monkey Got him from a pawnshop broker Taught that monkey how to guzzle beer And he taught him how to play stud poker Last night they were gambling in the kitchen The monkey he was taking a beatin' The monkey said, "Red, I'm gonna shoot you dead Because I know darn well you been a cheatin'." [Chorus] Well, run, Red run 'cause he's got your gun And he's aiming it at your head (boogity, boogity, boogity, boogity) Run, Red run 'cause he's got your gun And he's aiming it at your head (boogity) You better get up and wail You better move your tail before he fills it full of lead [Verse 2] Oh, Red jumped up and started to move like a P80-Saber Jet He zoomed around the corner and he disappeared And everybody started to bet The race was on, you know the chase was on And Red, he sure could run But let me tell you sport, don't sell that monkey short 'Cause he's a traveling son of a gun [Chorus] Well, run, Red run 'cause he's got your gun And he's aiming it at your head (boogity, boogity, boogity, boogity) Run, Red run 'cause he's got your gun And he's aiming it at your head (boogity) You better get up and wail You better move your tail before he fills it full of lead [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] Monkey trapped Red in a parking lot Down along the avenue Monkey said, "Red, you've made a man out of me Now I'm gonna make a monkey out of you Give me your car keys and give me your watch Give 'em to me or I'll shoot I'm gonna put on your brand new Stetson hat And go to town in your new brown suit." [Chorus] Well, run, Red run 'cause he's got your gun And he's aiming it at your head (boogity, boogity, boogity, boogity) Run, Red run 'cause he's got your gun And he's aiming it at your head (boogity) You better get up and wail You better move your tail before he fills it full of lead
