[Verse 1]

I was in the wild

Living life from tree to tree

So I learned a simple song

And sang it in a jamboree

[Verse 2]

And the people came and cheered

Thought that I was finally free

Till they sold me to a man

That had another plan for me

[Chorus]

He said dance monkey, dance

(Dance monkey)

Play that song I know, oh, oh

He said dance monkey, dance

(Dance monkey)

In this yellow coat

[Post-Chorus]

Dance, dance, dance monkey

Dance, dance, dance monkey

Dance, dance, dance monkey

[Verse 3]

Saved up just enough

Enough to buy a new guitar

And I wrote a simple song

An honest message from my heart

[Verse 4]

When I sang it to the crowd

It was not the same applause

I could hear them screaming out

You know what we came here for

[Chorus]

They said dance monkey, dance

(Dance monkey)

Play that song I know, oh, oh

They said dance monkey, dance

(Dance monkey)

In your flower coat

[Post-Chorus]

Dance, dance, dance monkey

Dance, dance, dance monkey

[Outro]

It doesn't matter what the people say

You can take my house way

Cause I know that I'll never be no

Dance, dance, dance monkey

It doesn't matter what the people say

You can take my house way

Cause I know that I'll never be no

Dance, dance, dance monkey
