Monkey House Songtext
von T’Pau

In the healthy, wealthy state of mental hygiene
We will teach you how to think a clean way
There′ll be no more dirty looks and no more dirty books
Now for your own good, we will take the choice away

There is a limit in the state of mental hygiene
Oh, to the difference of opinion we can allow, oh yeah
Now we must close an open mind if it's open to a different kind
Well, how can you hurt us

If we clean up in the monkey house tonight
Oh yeah, you′re gonna be alright
We clean up in the monkey house, house tonight


Now we can make or break your mind with mental hygiene
And you will see things in the way, yeah, we think you should, oh yeah
In the quiet of the night, the first cut is the deepest in the fight
How can you blame us

If we clean up in the monkey house tonight
Oh yeah, you're gonna be alright
We clean up in the monkey house
We're gonna take you, we′re gonna wash you whiter than white
In the monkey house, oh yeah

In the quiet of the night, you can hear your own heart beating
In the quiet of the night, we′ll take your breath away
Now you're gonna listen to the things we say

We gotta clean up in the monkey house tonight
Oh yeah, you′re gonna be alright
We clean up in the monkey house
We're gonna take you, we′re gonna wash you whiter than white
In the monkey house tonight, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, yeah
We clean up in the monkey house
