Some monkey try and make your world so complicated
Some monkey leave while you carry his heavy load
Some monkey tells you that your life is over-rated
Shouting at the cars while he's lying in the road
Let this monkey go
Some monkey paints an eerie picture of your future
Some monkey yells and throws the canvas on the floor
Some monkey lives to smash your face into the mirror
The monkey laughs while he's walking out the door
And after all those things I saw
I just never want to get that low
And now my only words of wisdom are
Well you've got to let this monkey go
I climbed the winding path up a rainy mountain
The monkey followed me and said this is the end
Jump off the edge cos you've nothing left to live for
I grabbed his tail and said after you my friend
And after all those things I saw
I just never want to get that low
And now my only words of wisdom are
Well you've got to let this monkey go
And after all those things I saw
I just never want to get that low
And now my only words of wisdom are
Well you've got to let this monkey go
