    Verse 1:
    A7 D7
  • I woke to the noise of monkey's knuckles
    A7 D7
    Knocking loud on my door.
  • A7
    He screamed, "Man, let me in
    D7
  • Or I'll kick your hallway ash tray
    A7 D7
    All over the floor!"
  • A7
    Well, there were wrinkles in his voice,
    D7
  • Wrinkles in his suit,
    A7 D7
    He'd partied all night before.
  • A7 D7 Esus
    The monkey looked tired,
    A7 D7
  • So tired.
     
    Verse 2:
  • He came from my door
    He shed on my floor,
    He jumped up on the back of my chair.
  • He said, "Lately, it seems,
    I've been having these dreams
    Of laughin' in African air.
  • It' could be a deja vu,
    Cognition coming true,
    I'm living my life more aware."
  • Monkey looked tired,
    So, so tired.
     
  • (Solo)
     
    Verse 3:
  • Let me swing back to the jungle
    I'll grab on the clouds as I go
    Over waves of the water,
  • Over partying whales,
    Landing softly, on the shoreline below.
     
  • (Solo over a more mellow groove)
     
    Verse 4:
  • Gotta get back to the jungle
    There are a lot of little animals there.
    The fish and plants breathe in clear water.
  • The bugs and birds rest on damp air.
    I'm going down, I'm going down.
    Sleepy monkey,
  • Oh, sleepy monkey.
  • PLAY TOO ..
