Shake Me Like a Monkey

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

The thing I like about you,

The way you do what you do,

The thing I like about you.

God and the devil alone could not have made you up,

The two must have worked as one together.

So good just want to eat you up,

Let me like the real thing;

Lick your sticky fingers boy and sing for your dinner, sing.

Come on pretty baby make me lose my mind,

Everybody get together, gonna make love shine.

Do you know what it is to feel the light of love inside you?

And all the darkness falls away.

If you feel the way I feel then i believe we have the answer,

That i've been searching for tonight.

Love me baby, love me baby; shake me like a monkey baby,

Oh, forever i'm yours, yours, yours, yeah!

I, i, i, can't stop thinking about you.

Yeah, yeah, yeah,

Why would I want to?

I like coffee with toast and jelly

But I'd rather be licking from your back to your belly.

I, i, i, think that I'm going to.

Do you know what it is to feel the light of love inside you?

And all the darkness falls away.

If you feel the way I feel then i believe we have the answer,

That i've been searching for tonight.

Love me baby, love me baby; shake me like a monkey baby,

Oh, forever i'm yours, yours, yours, yeah!

Cigarettes and coffee, broken heart and being lonely little girls

And ponies are the things that go together.

Yes and no you have to choose, Romeo and Juliet to hang their noose;

You and me would go together.

Kiss, kiss, make a wish,

Hope that it comes true.

But I ain't waiting for the world to change

Gonna change the world for you.

Come on pretty baby, make you lose your mind,

Everybody get together, gonna make love shine.

Do you know what it is to feel the light of love inside you?

And all the darkness falls away.

If you feel the way I feel then i believe we have the answer,

That i've been searching for tonight.

Love me baby, love me baby; shake me like a monkey baby,

Oh, forever i'm yours, yours, yours, yeah!

Come on pretty baby, make you lose your mind,

Everybody get together, gonna make love shine.
