Shock the monkey to life 
Shock the monkey to life 
  
Cover me when I run 
Cover me through the fire 
Something knocked me out' the trees 
Now I'm on my knees 
Cover me, darling please 
Monkey, monkey, monkey 
Don't you know when you're going to shock the monkey 
  
Fox the fox 
Rat the rat 
You can ape the ape 
I know about that 
There is one thing you must be sure of 
I can't take any more 
Darling, don't you monkey with the monkey 
Monkey, monkey, monkey 
Don't you know you're going to shock the monkey 
  
Wheels keep turning 
Something's burning 
Don't like it but I guess I'm learning 
  
Shock! - watch the monkey get hurt, monkey 
  
Cover me, when I sleep 
Cover me, when I breathe 
You throw your pearls before the swine 
Make the monkey blind 
Cover me, darling please 
Monkey, monkey, monkey 
Don't you know you're going to shock the monkey 
  
Too much at stake 
Ground beneath me shake 
And the news is breaking 
  
Shock! - watch the monkey get hurt, monkey 
  
Shock the monkey 
Shock the monkey 
Shock the monkey to life
