Dance Monkey

I was in the wild
Living life from tree to tree
So I learned a simple song
And sang in a jamboree
And the people came and cheered
I thought that I was finally free
'Till they sold me to a man
Who had another plan for me
He said: Dance monkey, dance (dance monkey)
Play that song I know
He said: Dance monkey, dance (dance monkey)
In this yellow coat
Dance, dance, dance monkey
Dance, dance, dance monkey
Dance, dance, dance monkey
Saved up just enough
Enough to buy a new guitar
And I wrote a simple song
An honest message from my heart
When I sang it to the crowd
It was not the same applause
I can hear them screaming out
You know what we came here for
He said: Dance monkey, dance (dance monkey)
Play that song I know
He said: Dance monkey, dance (dance monkey)
In your flower coat
Dance, dance, dance monkey
Dance, dance, dance monkey
Dance, dance, dance monkey
Dance, dance, dance monkey
It doesn't matter what the people say
You can take my house away
'Cause I know that I'll never be, no
Dance, dance, dance monkey
It doesn't matter what the people say
You can take my house away
'Cause I know that I'll never be, no
Dance, dance, dance monkey
Dance, dance, dance monkey
Dance, dance, dance monkey
