I shot the monkey
Funky monkey
I shot the monkey
It's getting heavy on my back, heart attack, gonna crack and I'm breaking down tonight
I am addicted but I'll fix it with a little of quick thinking I know what I got to do to make it feel right
I shot the monkey
Funky monkey
I shot the monkey
I get a little bit
Break it down now
In arberdeen where its green what I mean is I mean that I'll smoke it 'till I'm high
He is a mean mothertrucker but he's dumb as monkey rubber and it wont be that hard to take him down and watch him die
I shot the monkey
Funky monkey
I shot the monkey
Now watch me
That monkey started stepping out of his tree yaaa
And I got scared he would take over and be
My new leader and i'd swallow and I follow but I'll never be that hollow instead I teach my people all to shoot the monkey
Funky monkey
