Two Steppin' Monkey - Pete Droge

Doctor Grey was on the ferris wheel, missed the concert in the park

Left his children at the old folks home, paints self portraits in the dark

Plays his Mozart loud, cuts the coupons out, he thanks psychology for paying

But that pension plan’s got less to give than he ever wanted

He’s just a Two Steppin’Monkey, a two steppin monkey’s all he’ll ever be And I’m just a two steppin’monkey too, so let’s put him in the zoo with you and

me.

Billy Cambell revved his engine up, hit the strip on a Friday night

Parked his truck outside the convenience store, walked inside and shot the clerk

Found some time to kill, thrills were hard to find, now it’s hard time in the

pen

But that jail cell’s got less to give than he ever wanted

He’s just a two steppin’monkey, a two steppin’monkey’s all he’ll ever be And I’m just a two steppin’monkey too, so let’s put him in the zoo with you and

me.

The rent was paid again too late this week, and Mr. Maxwell’s got his tie too

tight

Thought it might change the way his girlfriend felt, to see him dressing up at night

He’s got his cigarettes and his amphetamines, he’s got his coffee in the morning

But that construction site’s got less to give than he ever wanted

He’s just a two steppin’monkey, a two steppin’monkey’s all he’ll ever be And I’m just a two steppin’monkey too, so let’s put him in the zoo with you and

me.
