you hate my monkey
02:34

you kicked my monkey right in his butt
you told my monkey keep his big mouth shut
you poked my monkey right in his eye
you hate my monkey, i don't know why
you hate my monkey, you made him cry
you hate my monkey-me and my monkey don't know why
you hate my monkey, you made him cry
you hate my monkey-me and mymonkey don't know why
you jerked my monkey out the driver's seat
you took them alligators off his feet
you stripped his fingers of his diamond rings
not one about my monkey, girl, it's everything
you hate my monkey, you made him cry
you hate my monkey-me and my monkey don't know why
shot at my monkey with a scatter gun
laugh at my monkey when he jump and run
why'd you tell my monkey he ain't got no paw?
that his momma's locked up in Arkansas?
you hate my monkey, you made him cry
you hate my monkey-me and my monkey don't know why
you hate my monkey, you made him cry
you hate my monkey--me and my monkey don't know why
you hate my monkey- me and my monkey don't know why

banana girl is out there by the road sellin' fruit
every time i drive by i give the horn a toot
she just smile and wave from behind her cantaloupes
i kinda get the feelin' she sorta know the ropes
banana girl, you're appealin' to me
banana girl, you're appealin' to me
banana girl, you're appealin' to me
banana girl, you're appealin' to me
banana girl got it all set up by eight
other people stoppin' in but i hesitate
it's a situation delicate as a peach
it's a different understandin' that i'd like-a to reach
with banana girl, you're appealin' to me
banana girl, you're appealin' to me
banana girl, you're appealin' to me
banana girl, you're appealin' to me
(solo)
banana girl, you're appealin' to me
banana girl, you're appealin' to me
banana girl, you're appealin' to me
banana girl, you're appealin' to me
banana girl i don't believe was born around here
when the weather turn cold she just disappear
in the spring i start to listen for the sound of her truck
promise myself i'm-a gonna try my luck
with banana girl, you're appealin' to me
banana girl, you're appealin' to me
banana girl, you're appealin to me
b-b-banana girl, you're appealin' to me
b-b-banana girl, you're appealin' to me
banana girl, you're appealin' to me
b-b-banana girl, you're appealin' to me

she's draped all over the jukebox
tryin' to pick a song that rocks
in her pink poodle skirt and her bobbi socks
she's draped all over the jukebox
she's out tonight in her brother's '57 Chevrolet
red on black interior with the drop top laid
her in that car is the prettiest sight he'd ever known
until he saw her standin' there alone
(chorus)
tomorrow she'll be drivin' it all around town in the daylight
maybe he could have a turn behind the wheel
if he played his cards right
but is' a long way across that drug store floor
for a boy just becoming a man
so he hangs back and just admires her where she stands
(chorus)
they're closin' in on 60 years together now
through it all they held it all together somehow
just now the light caught her right leanin' on the counter that way
and it took him back to the sight he had of her that day
(chorus)
draped all over the jukebox
draped all over the jukebox
draped all over the jukebox

corner to corner, edge to edge
(ridin' with my baby, baby ridin' with me)
swing low sweet chariot out over the ledge
(ridin' with my baby, baby ridin' with me)
shoulder to shoulder, hip to hip
(ridin' with my baby, baby ridin' with me)
she three the tree and ope the clutch don't slip
(ridin' with my baby, baby ridin' with me)
out ridin' with my baby
out ridin' with my baby
out ridin' wth my baby, baby ridin' with me
lover to lover, feel the curve
pedal to the metal if we got the nerve
rev up to rev up, we're runnin' hot
gonna pull over when we find a spot
out ridin' with my baby
out ridin' with my baby
out ridin' with my baby, baby ridin' with me

hey, hey, hey,
i'm a gonna be okay
i'll come out to play when the sun go down
hey, hey, hey,
i'm a gonna be okay
i'll come out to play when the sun go down
i like it in the night
under the neon light
i feel alright in a rock-n-roll crowd
where the band is tight
girls outta sight
there might be a fight
where it's fast and loud
(chorus)
i got a headache
i don't want to be awake
woman for heaven sake will you draw that blind?
i don't remember your name
i know you want more of the same
long about seven or eight
i'll be feelin' fine
(chorus)
when the sun go down, when the sun go down,
when the sun go down

big and mean, big and mean
ol' fat sheila is big and mean
big and mean, big and mean
ol' fat shiela is big and mean
she don't smile when she take your money
look down her nose at your wine
never call you "sugar" or "honey"
make you feel like you wasting her time
she don't lift nothin' heavy
shore ain't gonna help you to the door
every man come in she call a bastard
every woman come in she call a whore
(chorus)
once a punk came in to rob her place
waving around a gun
took one look into sheila's face
he laid it on the counter and he run
(chorus)
one time i seen her slap a small child
who was cryin' after a toy
baby mama started goin' wild
sheila said "you got to handle your boy"
you know you got to handle your boy
(chorus)

reincarnated lovers from a long time ago
that's what my baby think we are, brother, i don't know
does feel like we been in love a long, long, time
since a phone was in a booth and the call cost a dime
reincarnated lovers
maybe it's true
reincarnated lovers-we already knew what to do
reincarnated lovers from a romantic past
that's why my baby think our love is gonna last
it does feel like she been in love forever with me
since everything they showed on television was free
(chorus)
when it's already happened you feel much lighter
maybe we were Sampson and Delilah
when you already know there ain't no regret
i just hope we ain't Romeo and Juliet
reincarnated lovers from a long time ago
that's what my baby think we are, guess it could be so
reincarnated lovers from a forgotten past
that's why my baby think our love is gonna last
(chorus)
it's like we already knew
what to do
it's like we already knew
what to do

i don't know what your mountain is
i don't know how high it is
don't know what climbin' there is to do
but i know you
i don't know what your river is
i don't know how wide it is
what other side needs gettin' to
but i know you
and if i know you, you're just like me
you were born with all you need
to carry on, to see life through
yeah, i know you
i don't know what your dragon is
don't know how hard to slay it is
what it guards or how it grew
but i know you
i don't know where your castle lies
what you reach for in the skies
what dreams need to come true
but i know you
(chorus)
