Skid Row - Monkey Business Lyrics






[Bolan, Snake]

Outside my window there's a
Whole lot of trouble comin'
The cartoon killers and the
Rag cover clones
Stack heels kickin' rhythm
Of social circumcision
Can't close the closet on
Shoe box full of bones

Kangaroo lady with her bourbon
in a pouch
Can't afford the rental on
a bamboo couch
Collecting back her favors 'cause her
well is running dry
I know her act is terminal,
But she ain't gonna die

Slim intoxicado drinkin' dime
store hooch
Is always in a circle with his
part-time pooch
Little creepy's playing dollies in the
New York rain
Thinkin' Bowie's just a knife
Ooh the pain

I ain't seen the sun since I don't
know when
The freaks come out at nine
And it's twenty to ten
What's this funk
That you call junk
To me it's just monkey business

Blind man in the vox that will
probably die
The village kids laugh as they walk by
A psycho is on the edge of this human
garbage dump
And the vultures in the sewers
are telling
Him to jump

Into the fire from the frying pan
Tripping on his tounge
For a cool place to stand
Where's this shade
That you've got it made
To me it's just monkey business

Monkey business
Slippin' on the track
Monkey business
Jungle in black
Ain't your business if I got
No monkey on my back

Monkey business
Slippin' on the track
Monkey business
Jungle in black
Ain't your business
If I got
Monkey's on my back

The vaseline gypsies and silicone souls
Dressed to the society
Hypocrite heartbeat and cheap alibis
Can't get you by that monkey

  11. P.... C....

    Best line" the freaks come out nine and its twenty to ten".

    P.... C....

    I was gonna post the same thing! I love that line!

  12. P.... C....

    That intro is great! Been a fan of sebastian since 89'. That voice is from the gods.

    P.... C....

    That is so cool!

    P.... C....

    @Demon Hunters thanks

  13. A.... D....

    Sebastian is the sexiest rokero my eyes have been able to enjoy ... I love this man!!!

  14. J.... V....

    "Dieeeeeeeerreee-OH!" That note cuts so deep

  15. J.... C....

    I need more cowbell.....

    J.... C....

    I feel the same way!!!

  16. P.... R....

    Что с качеством звука?

  17. N.... O....

    I'm 30 years old and this my first time hearing this.. where did i go for the whole time? Lol

    N.... O....

    Dude, were you in a coma back then? 😂

    I had the honor of seeing this live!!

  18. K.... V....

    super song! Adore it! :-)

  19. L.... r....

    🙊🙉🙈

  20. B.... O....

    Needs more cow bell

    B.... O....

    I feel the same!!!

  21. E.... s....

    this was a damned good band

  22. L.... B....

    This version of Skid Row is MGTOW in Metal form. The current version of the band is a soy boy mangina fuelled mess.

  23. B.... T....

    Probably their best tune. 30 years later, and this groove still works.

  24. D.... o....

    Só assim p extravasar minha raiva

  25. p.... i....

    One of my favorite bands of the eighties.

  26. C.... N....

    His screams tho.

    His ex wife "yeah sorry you had sex with groupies" like he was a mere mortal.

    But he is mortal now. Im so torn, what he is now isnt remotely seductive.

    Sebastian Bach was proof of god on earth. But what is he now and how do we deal with the mundane mortality of the blessed.

  27. K.... ....

    I can't believe he is about two months younger than me!

    K.... ....

    I can't believe hes only 9 years older than me when he looks like my fucking dad who should be shut away. Im having literal life issues over this. "Sebastian Bach has had to pay his dues to Satan, your childhood is over." Is this how Boomers felt when JFK was shot? Because I think this is worse.

  28. B.... W....

    I was There and it was AWESOME.......

  29. E.... L....

    SONG RULES

  30. J.... S....

    That face...

  31. S.... G....

    My grandmother loved this video, that was back in 1992

    S.... G....

    Thanks for making me feel old. ~LOL~

  32. s.... l....

    if you didnt give your headlice the rodeo ride of a lifetime listening to this, then youre dead.

    s.... l....

    After? during you mean.

    s.... l....

    @Lord Belial duly noted and amended.

  33. b.... ....

    Sounds like guns and roses - welcome to the jungle

  34. W.... V....

    "Doesn't get better than this!

    K.... Z....

    @Kashmir Zeppelin I've heard the wind cries Mary, purple haze, voodoo child I think

    K.... Z....

    Even this old lady still loves him. Classically trained & beyond the limits of mere mortals.

  63. J.... S....

  87. L.... H....

    If I want to hear one of the best bands ever, I will search for Skid Row. They have it all. Great looking guys. very sharp dressers, not to mention a superb voice and band to back it all up. We were all walking in tall cotton back in the day when we had such a wide variety of super bands to chill out to.

    L.... H....

  95. L.... A....

    This song rocks hard.

  96. T.... B....

    Not really much of a fan of these guys, but record buying with Sebastian Bach was a lot of fun, he seems to be a pretty cool dude, and unlike most of the other bands from the 80's he lacks the Hair band "dick in a pencil sharpener vocals, that were quite popular at the time, his voice is quite strong!
