[00:00:00] Monkey Time - Boz Scaggs

[00:00:00] Written by：W.R. Scaggs/C. Arrowsmith

[00:00:01] Back in '64 I was feeling 63

[00:00:04] The strangest sort of feeling

[00:00:05] Started creeping over me

[00:00:07] It's not the kind of feeling

[00:00:09] You would easily forget

[00:00:11] My head started burning

[00:00:12] And my knees began to sweat

[00:00:14] I figured I was crazy

[00:00:16] So I went back to my chair

[00:00:17] But I looked into my mirror

[00:00:19] And I just wasn't there

[00:00:21] Just then the window shattered

[00:00:22] And a monkey hit the floor

[00:00:24] Looked like it was time for me

[00:00:26] To make it to the door

[00:00:28] But the monkey grabbed my coat

[00:00:29] And took away my hat

[00:00:31] And I don't remember

[00:00:33] What happened after that

[00:00:34] Except my friends hear the story

[00:00:36] About how I left it all behind

[00:00:38] Seems ever since that day

[00:00:39] I've had that monkey on my mind

[00:00:41] Tried to do my best

[00:00:43] And make something of my life

[00:00:48] So I cut off all my relatives

[00:00:50] And then I left my wife

[00:00:55] I've tried a hundred cures

[00:00:57] Anything that I could find

[00:01:02] But you know life ain't easy

[00:01:04] With a monkey on your mind

[00:01:08] Every time I make my mind up

[00:01:11] I'm really gonna try

[00:01:15] Well that monkey starts jumping

[00:01:17] And looks me in the eye

[00:01:22] Oh dig the monkey

[00:02:04] Well something exploded

[00:02:06] When the monkey got loaded

[00:02:07] And we went out on the town

[00:02:11] The monkey got so drunk

[00:02:12] He started getting funky

[00:02:14] It was hard to hold the poor boy down

[00:02:18] He did the boogaloo the shoogaloo

[00:02:20] The Eskimo the Hindu

[00:02:21] He even made the teenage queen

[00:02:25] Oh the joint started leaping

[00:02:26] Everybody was a freaking

[00:02:28] The greatest show they'd ever seen

[00:02:31] Then someone started screaming

[00:02:33] And I woke up from my dreaming

[00:02:35] Tried to get myself realigned

[00:02:38] But it's all right

[00:02:40] And it all comes easy

[00:02:42] When you got a monkey on your mind

[00:02:45] Dig the monkey

[00:02:48] Oh one more time

[00:02:52] Dig the monkey
