Lyrics to Monkey Grinder

Don't be scared

it's for a good cause

put your hand out and try to act calm

I can still feel those

hairy little fingers

pluck a nickle from my

sweaty little plam



He scratched me!



Collar goes tight

fat man's crankin'

and the monkey's reeled in

don't he look a little blue?



chorus:

Who knows factually a monkey's life span?

this is not your ordinary hurdy-gurdy man

all you higher primates sweatin' to keep the company

strong

have you heard the song of the monkey grinder?



Don't you worry

this monkey's lucky

got himself a good job

and a nice boss who's gonna keep him happy

from the cradle to the grave



...and someday, son...



And the little collar goes tight

and the fat man's crankin'

and the monkey's reeled in

this machine is hummin'



(chorus)



I can't find my little lost dog

and the neighbors say theirs disappeared last week

and there's a rumour goin' 'round 'bout a big long boa

and I hear it's living under the fat man's porch



Some say it's insatiable

some say it just unhooks its jaws

and then it swallows most anything it wants

even a full grown fat man



(chorus)
