Space monkey, monkey, what you doing out there? Why it's as a dungeon, way up in the air
Come gather me you little monkeys and a story I'll tell 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 through the jungle and by his toes Till they took him to Russia 'cause could I suppose They dressed him up in a spacesuit and it to snow him off in a rocket where no man would go
Space monkey, space monkey, what you out there? Why dark as a dungeon way up in the air There'll be no one to greet you when you get home Well, no or sickle, you'll be on your own
He had plenty of Cuban bananas and loads of But he found great difficulty trying to the can One day he slipped on a banana and the ship lost control It spun out of orbit and out the black hole
It's been four decades now, that's nine years That's a long time for a space 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 be no one to greet you when you get back home No hammer or sickle, be all on your own
Space monkey, space monkey, time to get real The race is over, how does it feel Cold War's had a heatwave, Curtain's torn down They've rolled up the in space monkey town
Now Leningrad is 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 red-headed, one legged parrot Who had done some research for Dow Chemical
They were drinking American all the way from Paducah, Kentucky And reportedly had their arms around each other's singing "Those were the days, my friend, we thought they'd end"
Space monkey, monkey, there's nothing to do But it's better than living in a zoo There'll be no one to greet you when you get back No or sickle, you'll be all on you own
