So, your Efriends have been telling you
I'm out of my mind
AActing all wild and weird
EShoutin' and screechin'
Bouncing off the walls
And B7swinging from the chandeliers
Yeah, I've been Erunning through the neon jungle
I've been Achasing every woman in F#town
When you turn a Eman into a monkey
That B7monkey's gonna monkey a Eround
Now Ewait 'til you see my new girlfriend
I Apicked her up down at the "Zoo"
She's got Erings in her noes
Glitter on her toes
And a B7very well placed tattoo
ENow that I've been up on the high wire
You ain't Aever gonna get me F#down
When you turn a Eman into a monkey
That B7monkey's gonna monkey a Eround
[Chorus]
Well Aonce you had me dancin' at the end of your chain
EBeggin' for your small change love
I was Ajumping through hoops
  Doing loop-dee-loops
Yeah, but B7girl I finally had enough
So when you Esee me out rockin' in my little red hat
Goin' Aape all over F#town
Well you turned a Eman into a monkey
And that B7monkey's gonna monkey a Eround

  Doing loop-dee-loops
Yeah, but B7girl I finally had enough
So when you Esee me out rockin' in my little red hat
AGoin' ape all over F#town
Well you turned a Eman into a monkey
And that B7monkey's gonna monkey a Eround

[Verse]

So, your friends have been telling you

I'm out of my mind

Acting all wild and weird

Shoutin' and screechin'

Bouncing off the walls

And swinging from the chandeliers

Yeah, I've been running through the neon jungle

A F#

I've been chasing every woman in town

When you turn a man into a monkey

B7 E

That monkey's gonna monkey a round

Now wait 'til you see my new girlfriend

I picked her up down at the "Zoo"

She's got rings in her noes

Glitter on her toes

And a very well placed tattoo

Now that I've been up on the high wire

A F#

You ain't ever gonna get me down

When you turn a man into a monkey

B7 E

That monkey's gonna monkey a round

[Chorus]

Well once you had me dancin' at the end of your chain

Beggin' for your small change love

I was jumping through hoops

Doing loop-dee-loops

Yeah, but girl I finally had enough

So when you see me out rockin' in my little red hat

A F#

Goin' ape all over town

Well you turned a man into a monkey

B7 E

And that monkey's gonna monkey a round

[Solo]

E E A F# E B7 E
