Space monkey, space monkey, you doing out there? Why dark as a dungeon, way up in the air
Come gather 'round me you little monkeys and a I'll tell About a brave young primate, outer space knew him He was at the top of a big old tree Way back in
He could swing through the jungle and by his toes Till they took him to Russia 'cause they I suppose They dressed him up in a spacesuit and it started to Shot him off in a rocket no man would go
Space monkey, space monkey, you doing out there? Why dark as a dungeon way up in the air There'll be no one to you when you get back home Well, no hammer or sickle, be on your own
He had plenty of Cuban bananas and loads of But he found great difficulty to open the can One day he slipped on a peel and the ship lost control It spun out of orbit and out the black hole
It's been four now, that's nine monkey years That's a time for a space monkey to confront all his fears
monkey, space monkey, what you doing out there? Why it's as a dungeon way up in the air But there'll be no one to greet you when you get home No or sickle, you'll be all on your own
Space monkey, space monkey, time to get real The space race is over, how it feel Cold War's had a heatwave, Curtain's torn down They've rolled up the carpet in space town
Now is Petersburg and Petersburg's hell For a monkey with a story to tell
The monkey was reportedly last sighted about A half a off of Red Square In a karaoke bar having a few with some of his friends
There was the dog that flew And a blind red-headed, one parrot Who had done some minor for Dow Chemical
They were drinking American all the way from Paducah, Kentucky And reportedly had their arms around each other's singing "Those the days, my friend, we thought they'd never end"
Space monkey, space monkey, nothing to do But it's better living in a Communist zoo There'll be no one to greet you when you get home No hammer or sickle, be all on you own
