Monkey Business

Download Song

From "Black Bean"

Hi jinks, hoodwinks

Brouhaha hullabaloo

Rough house, horse play

Clap trap ballyhoo

If it wasn't for monkey business

I would have no business at all

If it wasn't for monkey business

I would have no business at all

What begins as a din

From a new shenanigan

Soon becomes a caterwaul

My friend, if it wasn't for monkey business

Oh, no

What's this rumpus

What's that monkeyshines

This rumpus, Mum

This is my grand designs

If it wasn't for monkey business

I would have no business at all

If it wasn't for monkey business

I would have no business at all

What began as a plan

For a new shenanigan

Soon becomes so much falderal

My friend, if it wasn't for monkey business

Oh, no

It's always something

If it's not one thing, it's another

It's always something

If it's not one thing, it's another

If it wasn't for monkey business

I would have no business at all

If it wasn't for monkey business

I would have no business at all

I'm dressing on your dresser

You're the tongue, I'm the depressor

I'm the creepy extra hole on your bowling ball

If it wasn't for monkey business

Oh, no

This monkey business

Is a big big business

This monkey business

Is not your beeswax

This monkey business

Is everyone's monkeyshines

Monkeyshines

Money in my Mouth

Download Song

I buy war bonds in the South

'Cause Yankees never win,

And I put money in my mouth

'Cause I know where it's been.

See the funny boy buy bread!

Soon all bread will be his,

And I put money in my head,

So I know where it is.

From "Jupiter the Balloon Horse"

My crushed glass lips

Are parallel to the horizon

From space I'm frowning but from here I look just

Just a little

Nonplussed and noncommittal

Another monkey in the middle

Cause the middle is the place to be

I got gypsy bones

But my pillows stuffed with rain checks

Tossed my opinions on the ironing board for Mom

Now I'm a case of

Non-offensive, noninvasive

Let's all embrace the nonabrasive

And be the face of modern music and love

Moderate rock

Watered down, but at least we 're together

Proudly flying our flag halfway up the pole

Moderate rock

Me and Little Miss Sleep-Til-Whenever

We'll be fine cause that's our only goal

I'll take it black

No, I take it back

I take my caffeine from a blister pack

God, I hate the dress code here

But, hey, what can you do

When I was a junior I

Lost a bid for second tenor

The teacher said, Go and find your center.

Guess the center is the place to be

Moderate rock

Watered down, but at least we 're together

Proudly flying our flag halfway up the pole

Moderate rock

Me and Little Miss Sleep-Til-Whenever

We'll be fine cause that's our only goal

The ennui of our forefathers will destroy us someday

They named a bomb after the neutron, after all

I'll take the comfort food of tired chords and pitch-corrected whining

And the party never feels that good

And it never lasts that long anyway

Moderate rock

Watered down, but at least we 're together

Proudly flying our flag halfway up the pole

Moderate rock

Me and Little Miss Sleep-Til-Whenever

We'll be fine

We'll be fine...

(Greg Kutcher - lead guitar)

Minnowman

Download Song

Understand,

I'm the Minnowman

I want a guppy in a plastic bag

It's wet gold, Baby

Got to get hold

Of a funny little fish

In a little round fishbowl

Understand,

I'm the Minnowman

I want a guppy in a plastic bag

Hey ho, Baby

Bless my soul

I've got a funny little fish

In a little round fishbowl

Man

Minnowman

I'm a Minnowman's

Got money in the bank

And fish in the tank all right

Got money in the bank

And fish in the tank tonight
