Buck Owens - Your Monkey Won't Be Home Tonight lyrics

You treat me just as if I were a monkey in a cage Your friends all think it's clever They think it's the latest rage. They point at me behind my back And say now ain't that cute But when you get home tonight You'll find your monkey's flew the coop. And I'll be walkin' the dog A livin' high on the hog Blowin' goin' roarin' every night You'll find me struttin' my strut Yes, I'll be cuttin' the rug Don't wait up 'Cause your monkey won't be home tonight. --- Instrumental --- Whatever suits you fancy It's why you think I should do Jump up and down Turn round and round. And then jump through the hoop But I should swing from limb to limb So everyone can see Well, I may do some swingin' But it won't be from a tree. And I'll be walkin' the dog A livin' high on the hog Blowin' goin' roarin' every night You'll find me struttin' my strut Yes, I'll be cuttin' the rug Don't wait up 'Cause your monkey won't be home tonight. Don't wait up 'Cause your monkey won't be home tonight...
