about

you cant make me believe that good is evil
you cant make me believe that snow is black
and you wont believe the storm
when the sun is shinin warm
and you can't put that monkey on my back

I laid awake till 3 oclock this mornin
and i heard when you snuck into the sack
well you said you stayed up late
swinging on the garden gate, no
you cant put that monkey on my back

I saw you at the cafe with a fellow
and you said that you dropped in for a snack
but the fellows name was fred
and your cousin fred is dead
no you can't put that monkey on my back

you said that you were going to your grandmas
but your grandma dont live cross the RailRoad tracks
baby theres another thing, she don't buy you diamond rings!
now you can't put that monkey on my back

you loved me when i had alot of money
and now that my moneys getting flat
even though you said you'd be true
darlin what you do
now you cant put that monkey on my back

now that my song is nearly ending
i bid you all a fond and grand fairwell
i'll be singing for awhile
and your heavily on trial
justa pilin all these monkeys on my back
