Текст песни Monkey's Paradise - Tommy Castro

Monkey's Paradise performed by Tommy Castro

Monkey, yeah, monkey all the time
Monkey, yeah, it's a monkey's paradise

I can't stop thinking how I'm always thinking too much
Silently shrinking and just a little out of touch
I walk around and mumble; I talk to myself all the time
I got a real bad case of what they call monkey mind

Monkey, yeah, monkey all the time
Monkey, yeah, it's a monkey's paradise

The phone keeps ringing; I really should pick it up
Too much coffee drinking; think I'll have another cup
You know it's a crap shoot what's liable to cross my mind
Reading magazine covers standing in the checkout line

I said--
Monkey, yeah, monkey all the time
Monkey, yeah, it's a monkey's paradise

SOLO

Beg, borrow, put off 'til tomorrow when I wind up in the welfare line
My financial situation,
More useless information or running in real time
Criticizing, judging, blaming and doubting,
Analyzing, dumping, shaming and shouting
Restless and fickle, always in a pickle
Really gotta stop it but it ain't that simple
Monkey, yeah, monkey all the time, said--
Monkey, yeah, it's a monkey's paradise
Yeah, yeah

SOLO
Monkey, now
Somebody help me
Oh, yeah!
Talking about a monkey on my mind
Taking about the monkey
Whoo!
