dance monkey

Magic!

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
Play that song I know
He said: Dance monkey, dance
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 hear them screaming out
You know what we came here for

He said: Dance monkey, dance
Play that song I know
He said: Dance monkey, dance
In this yellow coat

Dance, dance, dance monkey
Dance, dance, dance monkey

It doesn't matter what the people say
You can take my house way
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 way
Cause I know that I'll never be, no
Dance monkey, dance monkey
Dance monkey, dance monkey
