They prosecuted some poor sucker in these United Statesfor teachin' that man descended from the apesThey coulda settles that case without a fuss or fightIf they'd seen me chasin' you sugarThru the jungle last nightThey'd a called in that jury and a one two three said'Part man part monkey, definitely'Well the church bell rings from the corner steepleMan in a monkey suit swears he'll do no evilOffers his lover's prayer but his soul liesDark and driftin and unsatisfiedWell hey bartender tell me what'd ya seePart man part monkey looks like to meWell the night is dark the moon is fullThe flowers of romance exert their pullWe talk a while my fingers slipI'm hard and cracking like a whipWell did God make man in a breath of holy fireOr did he crawl on up out of the muck and mireWell the man on the streetBelieves what the bible tells him soBut you can ask me mister because I knowTell them soul-suckin' preachers to come on down and seePart man part monkey, baby that's me
