[Verse 1]

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, hey, hey, hey

[Chorus]

Monkey, monkey, monkey

Don't you know you're gonna

Shock the monkey? Hey, hey

[Verse 2]

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 anymore

Darling, don't you monkey with the monkey

Hey, hey, hey

[Chorus]

Monkey, monkey, monkey

Don't you know you're gonna

Shock the monkey? Hey, hey

Shock the monkey, hey, hey, hey, yeah

[Bridge]

(Monkey) Wheels keep turning

(A monkey, ah) Something's burning

(Monkey) Don't like it but I guess I'm learning

(Shock, shock, shock)

Watch the monkey get hurt, monkey

(Shock, shock, shock)

Watch the monkey get hurt, monkey

[Verse 3]

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, hey, hey

[Chorus]

Monkey, monkey, monkey

Don't you know you're gonna

Shock the monkey? Hey, hey

Shock the monkey, hey, hey, hey, yeah

[Bridge]

(Monkey) Too much at stake

(A monkey, ah) Ground beneath me shake

(Monkey) And the news is breaking

(Shock, shock, shock)

Watch the monkey get hurt, monkey

(Shock, shock, shock)

Watch the monkey get hurt, monkey

[Outro]

Shock the monkey

Shock the monkey

Shock the monkey, hey, hey

Shock the monkey

Shock the monkey to life

Shock the monkey to life

Shock the monkey to life

Shock the monkey to life

Shock the monkey to life (Huh, huh, huh)

Shock the monkey to life

Shock the monkey (Shock the monkey) (Huh, huh, huh)

Shock the monkey (Shock the monkey) (Huh, huh, huh)

Shock the monkey (Shock the monkey) (Huh, huh, huh)

Shock the monkey (Shock the monkey)

Shock the monkey (Shock the monkey)

Shock the monkey (Shock the monkey)

Shock the monkey

Shock the monkey to life
