Let me tell you a story, about two kids in the city
C#m E C#m B F# C#m E C#m B F#
See they both have a problem with life, and it isn't very pretty
C#m E C#m E C#m F# C#m C#m E C#m E C#m F# C#m
There's a kid called Timmy, he used to be pretty witty
C#m E C#m B F# C#m E C#m B F#
But then too many rides on the horse, got him hooked and it's a pity
C#m B F#
Cause now he's got a monkey, he's got a monkey can't fight it
C#m B F#
Monkey, on his back he can't deny it
C#m F# B F#
Monkey, he found a dragon that bites, a hole in his arm at night (where all the money goes)
C#m E B C#m B F# C#m E B F# NC
Monkey, monkey on his back, dirty monkey, monkey on his back, a dirty monkey

Well there's a girl called Sally, she walks the streets in the city
C#m E C#m B F# C#m E C#m B F#
She works down on the corner every night, gives her money up to Willy
C#m E C#m E C#m F# C#m C#m E C#m E C#m F# C#m
You see her man's Big Willy, and when he met her she was pretty
C#m E C#m B F# C#m E C#m B F#
But he gave her a habit that she didn't want, now that's a pity
C#m B F#
Cause now she's got a monkey, she's got a monkey can't fight it
C#m B F#
Monkey, she's gotta walk the streets to buy it
C#m F# B F#
Monkey, she found a dragon that bites, a hole in her arm at night (where all the money goes)
C#m E B C#m B F# C#m E B F# NC
Monkey, monkey on her back, dirty monkey, monkey on her back, a dirty monkey

Well now listen everybody, cause there's a moral to the story
C#m E C#m B F# C#m E C#m B F#
Clean up your act, get the monkey off your back, or you'll be sorry
C#m E C#m E C#m F# C#m C#m E C#m E C#m F# C#m
Keep yourself clean, cause the monkey plays mean
C#m E C#m
He'll put a knife in your back
F# B F#
Then the man in the black, will show you a dragon that bites (and you'll wind up with a)
C#m E B C#m B F# C#m E B F#
Monkey, monkey on your back, dirty monkey, monkey on your back
