A Monkey's Tale
I'm feeling like a monkeyClimbing up the wallsThey call me little cheeky-monkeyDon't stop me I'm a joke
I'm treated like a monkeyAnyway it's farcicalThey call me "silly-billy"Quite proud It's a big role

I like to play the monkeyCatchin' up the ballsThey say I'm just freaky, funnyGlad they have the giggles
I'm dancing like a monkeyWaiting for the fallThey say everything is hunky-doryI'm starting to know the ropes
There's something strangeI'm out of controlI don't feel painThey should have known
Only Jesus knows why
Why the monkey's gone wildIt's a question of timeThe monkey's fit to be tied

They don't know whyWhy the monkey's wildHe kept his prideHe'll never hide

Hold back my feelings 'Cos my feet are on the run today Trying to find the old walk path Where we shook these old blue shoes away Oh these old beats still kick my mind The day we shook the tock from time Oh! Yeah this old dog, ain't lying down (Shake these old dog blues of mine) Going to kick the beat, till I'm in the ground (Shake these old dog blues of mine) Going to stamp my feet, to a new groove (Shake these old dog blues of mine) Oh, it feels so fine, yeah I got some new shoes on my mind (Shake these old dog blues of mine) Gonna shake these old dog blues Shake 'em in the morning In the evening, summer time, I feel alive Everything's so fine, so fine In these new shoes of mine Gonna shake these old dog blues Gonna step a new groove in these shoes of mine All night long Shake 'em in the morning In the evening, shake it, shake it Everything's so fine, so fine Yeah, got these new shows on my mind Gonna kick these old dog blues Yeah in these shoes of mine It's all I want, shake 'em off Gonna let me loose, and set me free (Shake these old dog blues of mine) Alright, kick 'em off, gonna let me breathe (Shake these old dog blues of mine) Everything's so fine, so fine (Shake these old dog blues of mine)
