The Circus Is Still In Town (The Monkey Song)

I used to have a monkey jumping up and down
I used to have a monkey jumping up and down
Now the monkey's off my back
But the circus is still in town

They call it monkey business
Cause the monkey's don’t play
You got to feed that monkey each and every day
He'll have you running the streets
Swinging from the vines
Monkey gets hungry on monkey time

I used to have a monkey jumping up and down
Now the monkey's off my back
But the circus is still in town

Now when I met that monkey he was a cute little guy
But it didn't take long he got gorilla-sized
He had me ripping and running trying to stay on the NOD
I tell you feeding that monkey was a full time job

I used to have a monkey jumping up and down
Now the monkey's off my back
But the circus is still in town

HARP SOLO

The monkey's off of my back
But the circus ain't gone
Clowns and the side show freaks live on
The monkey is laying low as far as I can tell
But I know he's out there waiting and he's still alive and well

I used to have a monkey jumping up and down
Now the monkey's off my back
But the circus is still in town

SOLO

Don't you do what I did
You better do what I say
And if you see that monkey, run the other way
Jail house, nut house, sleeping on the ground
That's what you gonna get you let that monkey stick around

I used to have a monkey jumping up and down
Now the monkey's off my back
But the circus is still in town

HARP SOLO
