Monkey in Me

Well, it's sticky in the jungle
Can't hide from the heat
Jungle drums are playin'
A jungle beat

Well those Hollywood hearts, watch them a flutter
You can't make a star of a girl gorilla

It's the monkey in me that makes me want to do it
Monkey in me that makes me want to chew it
Monkey in me that sets me loose
Got to climb to find my way

You know I'm scared of tigers
And I'm allergic to trees
And I don't like bananas
Fried or fricasseed

Queen Marlene, she's the star of the screen
"Is this the way that it's meant for me?"

It's the monkey in me that makes me want to do it
Monkey in me that makes me want to chew it
Monkey in me that sets me loose
Got to climb to find my way

No arms, no legs, no feet, no head, it's me now
No arms, no legs, just me instead, I'm free now, it's me now
Queen Marlene, she's the star of the screen
"Is this the way that it's meant for me?"

It's the monkey in me that makes me want to do it
Monkey in me that makes me want to chew it
Monkey in me that sets me loose
Got to climb and find my way

I go, I go ape uh huh huh huh
I go, I go ape (Uh huh huh)
I go, I go ape uh huh huh huh
I go, I go ape (Uh huh huh)
I go, I go ape uh huh huh huh
I go, I go ape (Uh huh huh)
I go, I go ape uh huh huh huh
I go, I go ape (Uh huh huh)

It's the monkey in me that makes me want to do it
Monkey in me that makes me want to chew it
Monkey in me that sets me loose
Got to climb to find my way

It's the monkey in me that makes me want to do it
Monkey in me that makes me want to chew it
Monkey in me that sets me loose
Gotta gotta gotta find my way

It's the monkey in me that makes me want to do it
Monkey in me that makes me want to chew it
Monkey in me that sets me loose

It's the monkey in me that makes me want to do it
Monkey in me that makes me want to chew it
Monkey in me that sets me loose

It's the monkey in me that makes me want to do it
Monkey in me that makes me want to chew it
Monkey in me that sets me loose
