Monkey Man

The Rolling Stones · Live Licks [2009]

I'm a flea-bit peanut monkey

All my friends are junkies

That's not really true

I'm a cold Italian pizza

I could use a lemon squeezer

How'd you do?



I've been bit and

I've been tossed around by every she-rat in this town

Have you, babe?



Well, I'm just a monkey man

I'm glad you are a monkey woman too



I was bitten by a boar

I was gouged and I was gored

But I pulled on through

Yes I'm a sack of broken eggs

I always have an unmade bed

Don't you?



Well, I hope we're not too messianic

Or a trifle too satanic

We love to play the blues



Well I am just a monkey man

I'm glad you are a monkey, monkey woman too

Babe
