The Monkey's Back lyrics

Oh the monkey's back He paved the way But I lost track He seized the day I'm on my way But the monkey's back Grew such gruesome finger nails He could scratch he could impale Never fails T-r-y So I fed him poisoned grapes He spit the seeds into my face And he escapes They germinate Weave into my skin Sprout the seeds Chrysanthemum Oh the weeds from my chin And we begin Oh this monkey's back He paved the way But I lost track Seize the day I'm on my way But the monkey's back Grew such finger nails He scratch he could impale Never fails T-r-y So I fed him poisoned grapes He spits the seeds into my face He escapes (they germinate) So weave into my skin Try the seeds crossanthumum Oh the weeds from my chin Weave again Well the monkey's back Oh the monkey's back Oh the monkey's back Oh the monkey's back Oh the monkey… Oh the monkey's back
