FmOh, Red went and bought himself a monkey..Bbgot him from
a pawn shop broker.
CTaught that monkey how to Bbguzzle beer and he Abtaught him
how to play stud Fmpoker.
Last Fnight when they were gambling in the kitchen, the Bbmonkey,
he was taking a beating.
The Cmonkey said Red, I'm going to Bbshoot you dead, because I
Cknow darn Fwell you been cheating.
CHORUS:
FmWell, run FRed run, because he's Ebgot your Fgun and he's aiming
it at your head.
GRun Red Bbrun, because he's F#got your gun, and he's Fmaiming it at
your head.
FYou better Cget up and wail, you better Bbmove your tail, before he
Ffills it Fmfull of Flead.

Oh, EbRed jumped Fup and started to move like a BbP80-Saber Jet.
He Czoomed around the corner, and he Bbdisappeared and Gmeverybody started
to Fmfade.
FmThe race was on, you know the Bbchase was on, and Red he sure could run.
But, let me Ctell you sport, don't sell that Bbmonkey short, because he's a
Ftravelling son of a gun.

it at your head.
