Monkey Shine

(album: Get Yourself Up - 1976)

Most of my life has been hit and run
Look for me two times and the second time I'm gone
Throwing stones at your window
Hanging by my toes from your tree
Keep me out any longer, girl
You'll make a monkey out of me

People you meet
Up and down the line
All wondering why
You can't stop on a dime
Only thing to do
Is just let your monkey shine

I'm looking for a girl from Alabama
Bottle of whiskey from Tennessee
Well, there's a warm wind blowing around me
But, I'm cold and lonely
And I need some company

People you meet
Up and down the line
All wondering why
You can't stop on a dime
Only thing to do
Is just let your monkey shine

I'm looking for a girl from Alabama
Bottle of whiskey from Tennessee
Well, there's a warm wind blowing around me
But, I'm cold and lonely
And I need some company
Yeah, I need some company
