Cover me, when I run Cover me, through the fire Something knocked me out the trees Now I'm on my knees Cover me, darling please [Chorus] Hey-ay... Monkey, (Monkey), Monkey... Don't you know? You gotta' shock the monkey, hey, hey! Fox the fox - Rat on the rat You can ape the ape - I know about that There is one thing you must be sure of I can't take any more Darling, don't you monkey with the monkey [Chorus] ...Shock the monkey ...Hey-ay, monkey Wheels keep turning -(Monkey!)- Something's burning -(Monkey!)- Don't like it, but I guess I'm learning... Shock! (x3) ...Watch the monkey get hurt -(Monkey!)- Shock! Cover me, when I sleep Cover me, when I breathe You throw your pearls before the swine Make the monkey blind Cover me, darling please Hey-ay... Monkey Too much at stake -(Monkey!)- Ground beneath me shake -(Monkey!)- And the news is breaking... Shock! (x4)
