Lyrics
Monkey Man
Me and my old friend
We go back a long way
In derelict buildings
To the back stage of the Neptune
You'd teach me a new song
I used to wish I was like you
But you wore drain pipes,
tanks tops, cheese cloths and duffel coat in winter
Me and my old friend
we go back a long way
I remember our school days
You stood out from the crowd in your uniform
You teach me a new song.
I used to wish I was like you.
But you had dread locks,
they were natural like candy floss
like the wild berries prickles of a holly bush
Me and my old friend
we go back a long way
You were never a soft touch
You never talked out of turn in company
You teach me a new song
I used to wish I was like you
But you wore waist coats,
big boots, trench coat and stepson hat in winter
So me and my old friend
we'll go on along way
From derelict buildings
to the Delft town home of the monkey man
