I was in the wild
Living life from tree to tree
So I learned a simple song
And sang it in a jamboreeAnd the people came and cheered
Thought that I was finally free
Till they sold me to a man
Who had another plan for meHe said dance monkey, dance
(Dance monkey)
Play that song I know, oh, oh
He said dance monkey, dance
(Dance monkey)
In this yellow coatDance, dance, dance monkey
Dance, dance, dance monkey
Dance, dance, dance monkeySaved up just enough
Enough to buy a new guitar
And I wrote a simple song
An honest message from my heartWhen I sang it to the crowd
It was not the same applause
I could hear them screaming out
You know what we came here forThey said dance monkey, dance
(Dance monkey)
Play that song I know, oh, oh
They said dance monkey, dance
(Dance monkey)
In your flower coatDance, dance, dance monkey
Dance, dance, dance monkeyDance, dance, dance monkey
Dance, dance, dance monkeyIt doesn't matter what the people say
You can take my house way
'Cause I know that I'll never meant
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 meant
No dance, dance, dance monkeyDance monkeyDance monkeyDance monkeyDance monkey
