One Monkey

(album: Message From A Drum - 1971)

Rolling in the rich man's war, feeling not so very cool
I don't take my handout, oh I swing it all night long
It's not happening, I don't feel it
Puts the straining back as caning
Then you find it and pull yourself together and come out with a mouthful
Know that one monkey
He don't stop no show
One monkey
He don't stop no show

Moving up the 'D' track oh, I got my hammer in my hand
Taking mind for goodness Oh I, I'll give the best for you
Oh I'm trying, yes I'm trying
Got to make it, not just fake it
But the music gets you going stronger and it drives you right on
You know that one monkey
He don't stop no show
One monkey
He don't stop no show

Rolling in the rich man's war, feeling not so very cool
Gotta take my handout, swing it all night long
It's not happening, I don't feel it
Puts the straining back as caning
Then you find it and pull yourself together and come out with a mouthful
'Cause you know that one monkey
He don't stop no show
One monkey
He don't stop no show
One monkey
He don't stop no show
One monkey
He don't stop no show
One monkey
He don't stop no show
