Lyrics
Monkey With A Drum
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.
When is it time to surrender?
A little monkey in a lion's den.
A little monkey with a drum jumpin'
for their fun.
Yeah I feel a little tender then.
And when I am away remember
A cheap rhyme never fits the bill.
'Cos I've been around the world,
But I missed my girl
And I feel a little tender still.
So tell me if you're feeling tender,
My baby, if you're feeling blue,
I've got some money put away
For a great escape
And I could run for a girl like you.
And I can make plans if you can.
I know there's fear in being true.
Maybe a monkey with a drum
I am to some,
But know I'm not that to you.
And I can make plans if you can,
You know we've gotta take a bird's
eye view.
And from way up here,
Things are looking pretty clear
Above the clouds the skies are always blue,
Always blue.
So tell me if you're feeling tender,
My baby, if you're feeling blue,
I've got some money put away
For a great escape
And I could run for a girl like you.
And I can make plans if you can
I know there's fear in being true.
(x2)
Maybe a monkey with a drum
I am to some,
But know I'm not that to you.
