Monkey Man (Select-A-Stone-Featurette) Songtext
von The Rolling Stones

I′m a flea-bit peanut monkey
All my friends are junkies
That's not really true
I′m a cold Italian pizza
I could use a lemon squeezer
What you do

But I've been bit, and I've been tossed around
By every she-rat in this town
Have you, babe?
Well, I am just a monkey man
I′m glad you are a monkey woman too

I was bitten by a boar
I was gouged and I was gored
But I pulled on through
Yes, I′m a sack of broken eggs
I always have an unmade bed
Don't you?


Well, I hope we′re not too messianic
Or a trifle too satanic
We love to play the blues
Well, I am just a monkey man
I'm glad you are a monkey, monkey woman too, babe

I′m a monkey
I'm a monkey
I′m a monkey man
I'm a monkey man
I'm a monkey

I′m a monkey
I′m a monkey
I'm a monkey
M-m-m-m-monkey
M-m-m-m-monkey
I′m a m-m-m-m-monkey

M-m-m-m-m-m-monkey
M-m-m-m-m-m-m-monkey
M-m-m-m-m-m-m-monkey


I'm a monkey
I′m, I'm, I′m, I'm, I'm, I′m
I′m, I'm, I′m, I'm, I′m, I'm
I′m, I'm, I'm, I′m, I′m, I'm
M-m-m-m-m-m-m-monkey
M-m-m-m-m-m-m-monkey
