I A7woke to the noise of D7monkey's knuckles Knocking A7loud on my door. D7 He screamed, A7"Man, let me in Or I'll D7kick your hallway ash tray All A7over the floor!&quD7ot; Well, there were A7wrinkles in his voice, D7Wrinkles in his suit, He'd A7partied all night beD7fore. The A7monkey looked tired, D7 Esus So A7tired. D7
Verse 2: He came from my door He shed on my floor, He jumped up on the back of my chair. He said, "Lately, it seems, I've been having these dreams Of laughin' in African air. It' could be a deja vu, Cognition coming true, I'm living my life more aware." Monkey looked tired, So, so tired. (Solo) Verse 3: Let me swing back to the jungle I'll grab on the clouds as I go Over waves of the water, Over partying whales, Landing softly, on the shoreline below. (Solo over a more mellow groove) Verse 4: Gotta get back to the jungle There are a lot of little animals there. The fish and plants breathe in clear water. The bugs and birds rest on damp air. I'm going down, I'm going down. Sleepy monkey, Oh, sleepy monkey.
