What Makes The Monkey Dance - Chuck Prophet

What makes the monkey dance

What makes the monkey dance

What makes the monkey dance

What makes the monkey dance

What makes the monkey dance

What makes the monkey dance

Birds and bees

Chimpanzees

Buzzing 'round my head

Swinging from trees

She’s a deep dish pie

A precious flower

Wrapped like candy

Primped and powdered

While the creepers creep

And the willows weep

In the dead of the night

I’m counting sheep

All night long

I toss and turn

I wonder what

It’s gonna take to learn

What makes the monkey dance

What makes the monkey dance

What makes the monkey dance

What makes the monkey dance

What makes the monkey dance

What makes the monkey dance

We got brand new drugs

For the same old blues

Satellites peaking

Into your room

A machine to tell me

If you’re lying

Sheep for cloning

Eggs for frying

I can meet for lunch

With the man on the moon

Do almost anything

I want to do

Makes no difference

Where you go

Everybody’s got a theory

But nobody knows

What makes the monkey dance

What makes the monkey dance

What makes the monkey dance

What makes the monkey dance

What makes the monkey dance

What makes the monkey dance

I’ve peeked through keyholes

On my knees

For clues to life’s

Mysteries

From daytime soaps

To late-night cable

Round the corner

Under the table

I’m looking for a love

That can’t be named

Looking for a love

That knows no shame

Big or round

Short or tall

I got to get it

Or nothing at all

What makes the monkey dance

What makes the monkey dance

What makes the monkey dance

What makes the monkey dance

What makes the monkey dance

What makes the monkey dance
