The Rolling Stones lyrics - Monkey Man

album: Let It Bleed (1969)
genre:

I'm a flea-bit peanut monkey 
All my friends are junkies 
That's not really true 
I'm a cold Italian pizza 
I could use a lemon squeezer 
How'd you do? 

I've been bit and 
I've been tossed around by every she-rat in this town 
Have you, babe? 

Well, I'm just a monkey man 
I'm glad you are a monkey woman too 

I was bitten by a boar 
I was gouged and I was gored 
But I pulled on through 
Yes I'm a sack of broken eggs 
I always have an unmade bed 
Don't you? 

Well, I hope we're not too messianic 
Or a trifle too satanic 
We love to play the blues 

Well I am just a monkey man 
I'm glad you are a monkey, monkey woman too 
Babe
