Lead single from their album Return of the Dream Canteen, and fresh on the heels of their Frusciante comeback album Unlimited Love, “Tippa My Tongue” features a throwback sound reminiscent of classic RHCP, notably Blood Sugar Sex Magik, which includes the song “Funky Monks” that is referenced in the...
[Verse 1]
Ya, ya-ya-ya, ya-ya-ya, ya-ya-ya, ya
Well, I'm an animal
Somethin' like a cannibal
I'm very flammable
And partially programmable
Centuries of overuse
Now I wear it nice and loose
[Verse 2]
Ya, ya-ya-ya, ya-ya-ya, ya-ya-ya, ya
Well, it's ubiquitous
Tell me, can you stick to this?
I'm on the brink of this
And tell me what you think of this
I'm in the Beauregard
Slow me down if I get hard
[Chorus]
We've only just begun
Funky monks are on the run
Gonna get you with the tip of my tongue
And when you walk away
I know what the kiss would say
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah
Gonna get you now
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Her perfume smells like gasoline
My girlfriend's trash is nice and clean
Acid landing on my tongue
I think you know we've just begun
She don't want the ladies' room
Transatlantic super groom
[Verse 4]
Your hairplane is a monument
The sexy art of condiments
And now I know you by your scent
Let it bleed, we both get bent
Need a minute to prepare
Sonny's side was always Cher
[Chorus]
We've only just begun
Funky monks are on the run
Gonna get you with the tip of my tongue
And when you walk away
I know what your kiss would say
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah
Gonna get you with the tip of my tongue
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 5]
Ya, ya-ya-ya, ya-ya-ya, ya-ya-ya, ya
Well, I believe in love
Perfectly receivin' love
It's vociferous
And come and get a whiff of this
I'm at the pyramids
Never had a fear of kids
[Verse 6]
Ya, ya-ya-ya, ya-ya-ya, ya-ya-ya, ya
I'm on the precipice
Come and make a mess of this
It's the apocalypse
I try to get a sock of this
I'm at the county fair
Haystack ride, I'll pull your hair
[Chorus]
We've only just begun
Funky monks are on the run
Gonna get you with the tip of my tongue
And when you walk away
I know what your kiss would say
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah
Gonna get you with the tip of my tongue
We've only just begun
Funky monks are on the run
Gonna get you with the tip of my tongue
And when you walk away
I know what your kiss would say
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah
Gonna get you now

Chad Smith:
There’s a lot of different things in there. To me it’s got a bunch of hooks in it. It’s got P-Funk in it. I hear George (Clinton in it), and some Hendrixy kind of licks. It’s a nice gumbo. I thought that would be a good first cone to come out from that (album). It sounds like us, but ne...
