Monkey In The Middle Lyrics
Monkey In The Middle by Chuck Prophet
We know you want to see him,
But let's not give him the feeling, uh
That all we are is curiosity seekers.
If you could fall back a little bit,
Give him a break, he's got a big job to do today."
Well I was born a little apple seed.
No one seemed to notice me.
Stealing kisses in the dark,
From two sisters hard to tell apart.
I was the monkey in the middle
But I never get caught.
From the pump & dump to the bait & switch,
I could do 'em all with the flip of a wrist.
Even as a pup down on the farm,
I never met a beast I couldn't charm.
I was the monkey in the middle
And I never get caught.
Yeah, I was the monkey in the middle
And I never get caught.
Well St. Petersburg's a funky town.
There's money to be made if you ask around.
Microfilm, discotheques,
Cash in hand and traveler's checks.
I was the monkey in the middle
And I never got caught.
Yeah, I was the monkey in the middle
And I never got caught.
Alright.
And I never got caught.
And I NEVER got caught.
Ahh... watch me now!
Cleopatra ruled the Nile with an iron fist.
Some folks they just couldn't handle it.
They hunted down my river queen,
Nobody laid a hand on me.
I was the monkey in the middle
But I never got caught.
She owned the heart of Egypt land.
They say she died by her own hand.
There was a harmless game of truth or dare,
She grabbed that snake and held it there.
I was the monkey in the middle
And I never got caught.
Yeah, I was the monkey in the middle
And I never got caught.
Alright.
And I never got caught.
And I NEVER got caught.
Ahh... watch me now!
Well, I came into this world unknown.
I've seen so many good people come and go.
But I got no gray hairs upon my head,
And I kept my cool to the bitter end.
I am the monkey in the middle
And I never get caught.
You let Jesus make your dyin' bed,
Tell him I've got other plans instead.
Take the Reaper off his rounds,
I can shut my own light out.
I'm the monkey in the middle
And I NEVER get caught.
Yeah, I'm the monkey in the middle
And I never get caught.
Mr. Guitar Player!
"I guess it just be that way sometimes...
I guess it just be that way sometimes...
Ooh I guess it just be that way sometimes..."
