The monkey at work is all too hurt So lap your life of luxury See the balance of your thoughts And reap the sum of all that could be me The balance on your trapeze monkey see - monkey beat Rockin' around from tree to tree Looking for a life so carefree King of your jungle - man's domain Root around to your life's brutal end The balance on your trapeze Balance your life's absurdity Beat your chest with hands and feet monkey see - monkey beat Beat on your chest with hands and feet monkey see - monkey beat
