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!

Huh, huh, huh shock the monkey!
Huh, huh, huh shock the monkey!

Funky Monkey Baby
(Youchi Ohkura and Eichiki Yazawa, English lyric Ralph McCarthy)
* Come see my funky monkey baby
He got a thing for you
Since you went away
My monkey been so blue
** Come pet my funky monkey baby
And make him dance again
Like old times
Don’t you remember when
We used to make banana cream pie
Every night he couldn’t get enough
But now he ain’t got no appetite no no no!
Come see my funky monkey baby
Give him a little squeeze
I hate to see him cry
He’s like a part of me
Nobody plays with him anymore wo oh oh
He doesn’t even know what
He’s still hanging around here for no no no!
