Them Kinda Monkeys Can't Swing

Slade · Slade In Flame [1974]

Everywhere has a wheeler an' dealer raised in the back streets of town

Everywhere has a spieler who's a clown



Every haunt has a hustler an' bustler born with the tongue of a snake

Every haunt has a muscler on the make



Chorus

Them kinda monkeys can't swing and them birdies can't sing

If them pigs could fly maybe they'd fly away from me



Everywhere has a ducker an' diver doin' his best to impress

Everywhere has a sciver in a mess



Every place has a joker at poker born with a marked deck of cards

Every place has a smoker in the yards
