Delbert McClinton - Monkey Around Lyrics
So your friends have been telling you I'm out of my mind
Acting awful wild and weird
Shoutin' and screechin', bouncing off the walls
Swingin' from the chandelier
Yeah, I've been running through the neon jungle
When you make a man into a monkey
That monkey's gonna monkey around
Wait until you see my new girlfriend
I picked her up down at the zoo
She's got rings in her nose, glitter on her toes
And a very well placed tattoo
Now that I've been up on the highwire
You ain't never gonna get me down
You made a man into a monkey
Once you had me dancin' at the end of your chain
Begging for some small change love
I was jumpin' through hoops, doing loop-de-loops
But, girl, I've finally had enough
So when you see me out rocking in my little red hat
Going ape all over town
You made a man into a monkey
That monkey's gonna monkey around
Once you had me dancin' at the end of your chain
Begging for some small change love
I was jumpin' through hoops, doing loop-de-loops
But, girl, I've finally had enough
So when you see me out rocking in my little red hat
Going ape all over town
You made a man into a monkey
That monkey's gonna monkey around
Yeah, you made a man into a monkey
Now the monkey's gonna monkey around

The phenomenal Jim Keltner layin' down the groove. It's like butter!
Melt me Delbert 😉😉😉😉

Who is it on piano? --- Same guy as played on the tracks of this album... Listen to his intro on TOO MUCH STUFF -- from the same album....BTW :: Delbert's song is way many times better than Robbie Williams's 'monkey' song ME AND MY MONKEY -- which frankly is a load of horse-sh*t.... [...or monkey-sh*t]
This one is right up there with my other favorite monkey song: Monkey To Man by Elvis Costello... (check it out)!
Check-out the Fabulous Thunderbird's song "The Monkey"
Great music!
THIS MUSIC WILL GET YOU MOVING/DANCNG UNLESS YOU ARE HALF DEAD.
Yvonne Carter Amen Amen
I AGREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Way over half dead...still gets me rock"n….PEACE TO ALL
Do you mind if I use this song in my senior line dancing class? Do you mind if I upload the video of my line dancing class to the Facebook?
Greatest Blues voice God ever created! Grateful he was tough enough to hang in the business cause he's a treasure to listen to.
traveled far and wide to see Delbert ...used to see him in Millerton, N.Y. (Top of the Stretch) then saw him at the Warne theater in Torrington in Ct, - much closer to home...hope he will come back again. Don't know how much he is touring these days.
Bit of hyperbole, it's a matter of taste.
His music makes my heart melt. Love all his work!No one better than Delbert! Love, Love, Love
Love love love!!
Proof of evolution...I like a little glitter on her toes...Delbert is killer...keep on a rock'n
As good as Victum...love me some Delbert
