    [Verse 1]
    I'm a flea-bit peanut monkey
    All my friends are junkies
    That's not really true
    I'm a cold Italian pizza
    I could use a lemon squeezer
    Would you do?
    But I've been bit, and I've been tossed around
    By every she-rat in this town
    Have you, babe?

    [Refrain]
    Well, I am just a monkey man
    I'm glad you are a monkey woman too

    [Verse 2]
    I was bitten by a boar
    I was gouged, and I was gored
    But I pulled on through
    Yes, I'm a sack of broken eggs
    I always have an unmade bed
    Don't you?
    Well, I hope we're not too messianic
    Or a trifle too satanic
    We love to play the blues

    [Refrain]
    Well, I am just a monkey man
    I'm glad you are a monkey, monkey woman too, babe

    [Instrumental break]

    [Outro]
    I'm a monkey! I'm a monkey!
    I'm a monkey, babe! I'm a monkey, babe!
    I'm a monkey! I'm a monkey! I'm a monkey! I'm a monkey!
    M-m-m-monkey! M-m-m-m-monkey! I'm a m-m-m-monkey!
    M-m-m-ma ma ma ma!
    Ma ma ma ma ma
    Ma ma ma ma ma monkey!
    Ah! I'm a monkey!
    Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! ....
