PART MAN PART MONKEY
They prosecuted some poor sucker in these United States
For teaching that man descended from the apes
They coulda settles that case without a fuss or fight
If theyd seen me chasin you, sugar, through the jungle last night
Theyda called in that jury and a one two three said
Part man, part monkey, definitely
Well the church bell rings from the corner steeple
Man in a monkey suit swears hell do no evil
Offers his lovers prayer but his soul lies
Dark and driftin and unsatisfied
Well hey bartender, tell me whaddaya see
Part man, part monkey, looks like to me
Well the night is dark, the moon is full
The flowers of romance exert their pull
We talk awhile, my fingers slip
Im hard and crackling like a whip
Well did God make man in a breath of holy fire
Or did he crawl on up out of the muck and mire
Well the man on the street believes what the bible tells him so
Well you can ask me, mister, because I know
Tell them soul-suckin preachers to come on down and see
Part man, part monkey, baby thats me
