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