James Isaak: Songs

I got a monkey on my back
he’s got me stuck in a tree
I got a monkey on my back
he’s got me stuck in a tree
if you got to blame somebody
baby blame the monkey not me.

I got a monkey on my back
he never lets me go to slleep
I got a monkey on my back
he never lets me go to sleep
every time I try to lay down
babe he takes the bankets from me.

I got a monkey on my back
he’s hungry all of the time
I got a monkey on my back
he’s hungry all of the time
every time I make a dollar
babe he leaves me with a dime.

I got a monkey on my back
he tells me what I have to do
I got a monkey on my back
he tells me what I have to do
well he cheats me repeatedly
babe you know he’ll cheat you too.

I got a monkey on my back
he’s got me stuck in a tree
I got a monkey on my back
he’s got me stuck in a tree
if you got to blame somebody
baby blame the monkey not me.
