I was in the wild
Living life from tree to tree
So I learned a simple song
And sang it in a jamboree
And the people came and cheered
I thought that I was finally free
'Til they sold me to a man
Who had another plan for me
He said, "Dance monkey, dance" (Dance monkey)
Play that song I know, woah
He said, "Dance monkey, dance" (Dance monkey)
In this yellow coat, woah
Dance, dance, dance monkey
Dance, dance, dance monkey
Dance, dance, dance monkey
Saved up just enough
Enough to buy a new guitar
And I wrote a simple song
An honest message from my heart
When I sang it to the crowd
It was not the same applause
I can hear them screaming out
You know what we came here for
They said, "Dance monkey, dance" (Dance money)
Play that song I know, woah
They said, "Dance monkey, dance" (Dance money)
In your flower coat, woah
