Monkey in the Family - Happy Mondays

Its delicious the way you’re walking

Go easy on your toes

There’s a million and one different dances

Who do you know that knows

There’s a monkey in the family

It was trained by Adam and Eve

It was sold to your great-great-granddad and grandma

And decided it wouldn’t leave

I had to make the grass more greener

I had to make the sky more blue

I had to put a stop to the Jungle Jive team

So they don’t do the dance with you

When you grow up you’ll moon stomp mi lady

To moon stomp is in your blood

You’ll have to make a keen decision

But you’ll know everything about love

There’s a monkey in the family

Swings from tree to tree

It never stops to see how you’re doing

It just has time to feed

I had to make the grass more greener

I had to make the sky more blue

I had to put a stop to the Jungle Jive team

So they don’t do the dance on you

There’s a monkey in the family

It was trained by Adam and eve

It was sold to your great-great-granddad and grandma

And decided it wouldn’t leave

I had to make the grass more greener

I had to make the sky more blue

I had to put a stop to the Jungle Jive team

So they don’t do the dance with you

It’s delightful the way you’re walking

Be steady on those feet

Stay away from the Peppermint Twist

Where the Humpty Humpers meet

There’s a monkey in the family

It was trained by Adam and Eve

It was sold to your great-great-granddad and grandma

And decided it wouldn’t leave

I had to make the grass more greener

I had to make the sky more blue

I had to put a stop to the Jungle Jive team

So they don’t do the dance with you

There’s a monkey in the family

There’s a monkey in the family

There’s a monkey in the family
