Monkey Time - Boz Scaggs[00:00:00]
Written by:W.R. Scaggs/C. Arrowsmith[00:00:00]
Back in '64 I was feeling 63[00:00:01]
The strangest sort of feeling[00:00:04]
Started creeping over me[00:00:05]
It's not the kind of feeling[00:00:07]
You would easily forget[00:00:09]
My head started burning[00:00:11]
And my knees began to sweat[00:00:12]
I figured I was crazy[00:00:14]
So I went back to my chair[00:00:16]
But I looked into my mirror[00:00:17]
And I just wasn't there[00:00:19]
Just then the window shattered[00:00:21]
And a monkey hit the floor[00:00:22]
Looked like it was time for me[00:00:24]
To make it to the door[00:00:26]
But the monkey grabbed my coat[00:00:28]
And took away my hat[00:00:29]
And I don't remember[00:00:31]
What happened after that[00:00:33]
Except my friends hear the story[00:00:34]
About how I left it all behind[00:00:36]
Seems ever since that day[00:00:38]
I've had that monkey on my mind[00:00:39]
Tried to do my best[00:00:41]
And make something of my life[00:00:43]
So I cut off all my relatives[00:00:48]
And then I left my wife[00:00:50]
I've tried a hundred cures[00:00:55]
Anything that I could find[00:00:57]
But you know life ain't easy[00:01:02]
With a monkey on your mind[00:01:04]
Every time I make my mind up[00:01:08]
I'm really gonna try[00:01:11]
Well that monkey starts jumping[00:01:15]
And looks me in the eye[00:01:17]
Oh dig the monkey[00:01:22]
Well something exploded[00:02:04]
When the monkey got loaded[00:02:06]
And we went out on the town[00:02:07]
The monkey got so drunk[00:02:11]
He started getting funky[00:02:12]
It was hard to hold the poor boy down[00:02:14]
He did the boogaloo the shoogaloo[00:02:18]
The Eskimo the Hindu[00:02:20]
He even made the teenage queen[00:02:21]
Oh the joint started leaping[00:02:25]
Everybody was a freaking[00:02:26]
The greatest show they'd ever seen[00:02:28]
Then someone started screaming[00:02:31]
And I woke up from my dreaming[00:02:33]
Tried to get myself realigned[00:02:35]
But it's all right[00:02:38]
And it all comes easy[00:02:40]
When you got a monkey on your mind[00:02:42]
Dig the monkey[00:02:45]
Oh one more time[00:02:48]
Dig the monkey[00:02:52]
