from the songs album Let It Bleed
(m. jagger/k. richards)
I'm a fleabit peanut monkey
All my friends are junkies
That's not really true
I'm a cold italian pizza
I could use a lemon squeezer
What you do?
But i've been bit and i've been tossed around
By every she-rat in this town
Have you, babe?
Well, i am 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
I'm a monkey
I'm a monkey
I'm a monkey man
I'm a monkey man
I'm a monkey...
