G Space Monkey, Space MonkeyC G What you doing out there?G D G Why it's dark as a dungeon way up in the air [Verse]G C G Come gather round me you little monkeys and a story I'll tellG D G About a brave young primate, outer space knew him wellG C G He was born at the top of a big old treeG D C Way back in 1953. [Verse]G C G He could swing through the jungle and hang by his toesG D G Till they took him to Russia cause they could I supposeG C G They dressed him up in a spacesuit and it started to snowG D G Shot him off in a rocket where no man would go [Chorus]G Space Monkey Space MonkeyC G What you doing out there?G D G Why it's dark as a dungeon way up in the airG C G There'll be no one to greet you when you get back homeG D G No hammer or sickle you'll all be all on your own. [Verse]G C G He had plenty of Cuban bananas and loads of SpamG D G But he found great difficulty trying to open the canG C G One day he slipped on a banana peel and the ship lost controlG D G It spun out of orbit and shot out the black holeG C G It's been four decades now, that's nine monkey yearsG D G That's a long time for a Space Monkey to confront all his fears [Chorus]G Space Monkey Space MonkeyC G What you doing out there?G D G Why it's dark as a dungeon way up in the airG C G There'll be no one to greet you when you get back homeG D G No hammer or sickle you'll all be all on your own. [Instrumental]G C GG D G X2 [Verse]G Space Monkey, Space MonkeyG C G It's time to get realG D G The space race is over, how does it feelG C G Cold War's had a heatwave, Iron Curtain's torn downG D G They've rolled up the carpet in Space Monkey townG C G Now Leningrad is Petersburg and Petersburg's hellG D G For a card-carrying monkey with a story to tell [SPOKEN]G The Space Monkey was reportedly last sighted about N.C. A half a block off of Red Square N.C. In a karaoke bar having a few drinks with some of his friends N.C. There was the dog that flew Sputnik N.C. And a blind red-headed, one legged parrot N.C. Who had done some minor research for Dow Chemical N.C. They were drinking American Vodka N.C. Imported all the way from Paducah, Kentucky N.C. And reportedly had their arms around each other's N.C. Shoulders singing. N.C. "Those were the days, my friend, we thought they'd never end" [Chorus 2]G Space Monkey, Space MonkeyC G There's nothing to doG D G But it's better than living in a Communist zooG C G There'll be no one to greet you when you get back homeG D G No hammer or sickle you'll all be on your own. [Chorus 2]G Space Monkey, Space MonkeyC G There's nothing to doG D G But it's better than living in a Communist zooG C G There'll be no one to greet you when you get back homeG D G No hammer or sickle you'll be all on your own.
