Everybody Knows the Monkey Songtext
von Mighty Mighty

Stands at the top of the stairs
Everybody wants to know about his hair
And the clothes he wears
Are they just like theirs?

Everybody knows the monkey

Every smiling face has the same thing to say
They feed, they see, they peak
Then just walk away
"Such a privilege to meet you
You really made my day"

Everybody knows the monkey
For the first time


New friends are at his side
Every time he wants to confide
They want to take care of him
They want to buy shares in him
And keep the press satisfied

Everybody knows the monkey
For the second time

What′s my name, you lot?

Stands at the top of the stairs
Everybody wants to know about his hair
And the clothes he wears
Are they just like theirs?

Everybody knows the monkey

Everybody knows the monkey
Everybody knows the monkey
Everybody knows the monkey
But the monkey, he knows no one
