Lyrics Run Red Run - The Coasters
Oh,
Red
went
and
bought
himself
a
monkey
Got
him
from
a
pawn
shop
broker
Taught
that
monkey
how
to
guzzle
beer
And
he
taught
him
out
to
play
stud
poker
Last
night
when
they
were
gambling
in
the
kitchen
The
monkey
he
was
taking
a
beating
The
monkey
said
Red,
"I'm
going
to
shoot
you
dead
Because
I
know
that
well,
you
been
a
cheating."
Well,
run
Red
run,
because
he's
got
your
gun
And
he's
aiming
it
at
your
head.
Run
Red
run,
because
he's
got
your
gun,
And
he's
aiming
it
at
your
head.
You
better
get
up
and
wail,
You
better
move
your
tail
before
he
fills
it
full
of
lead
Oh,
Red
jumped
up
and
started
to
move
like
a
P80-Saber
Jet.
He
zoomed
around
the
corner,
and
he
disappeared
And
everybody
started
to
stare.
The
race
was
on,
you
know
the
chase
was
on
And
Red
he
was
all
shook
up
But,
let
me
tell
you
sport,
don't
sell
that
monkey
short,
Because
he's
a
travelling
son
of
a
gun.
Well,
run
Red
run,
because
he's
got
your
gun
And
he's
aiming
it
at
your
head.
Run
Red
run,
because
he's
got
your
gun,
And
he's
aiming
it
at
your
head.
You
better
get
up
and
wail,
You
better
move
your
tail
before
he
fills
it
full
of
lead
Monkey
trapped
Red
in
a
parking
alot.
Down
along
the
Avenue,
Monkey
said,
"Red,
you've
made
a
man
out
of
me,
Now
I'm
going
to
make
a
monkey
out
of
you.
Give
me
your
car
keys,
give
me
your
wallet
Give
it
to
me
here,
or
I'll
shoot
Going
to
put
on
your
brand
new
Stetson
hat
And
go
to
town
in
your
new
brown
suit."
Well,
run
Red
run,
because
he's
got
your
gun
And
he's
aiming
it
at
your
head.
Run
Red
run,
because
he's
got
your
gun,
And
he's
aiming
it
at
your
head.
You
better
get
up
and
wail,
You
better
move
your
tail
before
he
fills
it
full
of
lead
