Shock the Monkey
Peter Gabriel

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-ey-ey-ey-ey
Monkey, monkey, monkey
Don’t you know you’re going to shock the monkey?
Hey, hey
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 any more
Darling, don’t you monkey with the monkey!
Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey
Monkey, monkey, monkey
Don’t you know you’re going to shock the monkey?
Hey, hey
Shock the monkey
Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey
Monkey
Wheels keep turning
Monkey
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
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-ey-ey-ey-ey
Monkey, monkey, monkey
Don’t you know you’re going to shock the monkey?
Hey, hey
Shock the monkey
Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey
Monkey
Too much at stake
Oh monkey
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
Shock the monkey!
Shock the monkey!
Shock the monkey!
Hey, hey
Shock the monkey!

Huh, huh, huh

Huh, huh, huh shock the monkey!
