Space monkey, space monkey, what you doing out Why it's as a dungeon, way up in the air
Come gather 'round me you little monkeys and a story I'll About a brave young primate, space knew him well He was at the top of a big old tree Way in 1953
He could swing the jungle and hang by his toes Till they took him to Russia 'cause they could I dressed him up in a spacesuit and it started to snow Shot him off in a where no man would go
Space monkey, space monkey, you doing out there? Why it's dark as a way up in the air There'll be no one to greet you when you get back Well, no or sickle, you'll be on your own
He had plenty of Cuban bananas and of Spam But he great difficulty trying to open the can One day he slipped on a banana peel and the ship lost It out of orbit and shot out the black hole
It's four decades now, that's nine monkey years That's a long for a space monkey to confront all his fears
Space monkey, space monkey, you doing out there? Why it's as a dungeon way up in the air But there'll be no one to greet you you get back home No or sickle, you'll be all on your own
Space monkey, space monkey, it's to get real The space race is over, how it feel War's had a heatwave, Iron Curtain's torn down They've rolled up the carpet in space town
Now Leningrad is Petersburg and hell For a monkey with a story to tell
The space monkey was reportedly last sighted A a block off of Red Square In a karaoke bar having a few drinks with some of his
There was the dog that flew And a blind red-headed, one legged Who had done some minor for Dow Chemical
They were drinking Vodka Imported all the way from Paducah, And had their arms around each other's shoulders singing "Those were the days, my friend, we they'd never end"
Space monkey, space monkey, there's to do But it's better than living in a zoo There'll be no one to greet you when you get home No hammer or sickle, be all on you own
