I got an ape performing in my head
 If he don't stop then i will soon be dead
 This monkey's no friend of mine
 I try to act straight but he's on cloud number nine
 He's got a cup made of tin
 And it's 'cause of him you won't let me in
 He bangs a [bad word] so i can get no sleep
 Well he's a monkey but he can't be beat
 Head over heels on banana peel
 I'm getting confused as to what i feel
 And every time i try to speak
 He always puts his monkeytongue in my cheek
 Oh my my - i'd do anything to make him die
 But then i see there's nothing i can do
 The monkey's just a part of me
 I got a monkey singing in my brain
 I should have known already we're the same
 I got some monkey business to attend
 I think i'll ask him if he'd hold my hand
 And ask him to be a friend of mine
 Together we'll fly up to cloud number nine
 And share his cup made of tin
 Maybe then you'd like to let us in
 Oh my my - i did everything to make him die
 But now i see there's nothing ican do
 The monkey's just a part of me
