Two Steppin’ Monkey Songtext
von Pete Droge

Dr. Gray was on the ferris wheel
He missed the concert in the park
He left his children at the old folks home
He paints self portraits in the dark
He plays his Mozart loud
He cuts the coupons out
He thanks psychology for payin′
But that pension plan's got less to give than he ever wanted

He′s just a two steppin' monkey
A two steppin' monkey′s all he′ll ever be
And I'm just a two steppin′ monkey too
So let's put him in the zoo with you and me


Billy Campbell revved his engine up
He hit the strip on Friday night
He parked his truck outside the convenience store
And walked inside and shot the clerk
He found some time to kill
Thrills were hard to find
Now it′s hard time in the pen
But that jail cell has got less to give than he ever wanted

He's just a two steppin′ monkey
A two steppin' monkey's all he′ll ever be
And I′m just a two steppin' monkey too
So let′s put him in the zoo with you and me

The rent was paid again too late this week
And Mr. Maxwell's got his tie too tight
He thought it might change the way his girlfriend felt
To see him dressin′ up at night
He's got his cigarettes and his amphetamines
He′s got his coffee in the morning
But that construction site's got less to give than he ever wanted

He's just a two steppin′ monkey
A two steppin′ monkey's all he′ll ever be
And I'm just a two steppin′ monkey too
So let's put him in the zoo with you and me

So let′s put him in the zoo with you and me
Oh yeah, let's put him in the zoo with you and me
