[Verse 1]
             C     F       
Hey, little lady   -   got a 
   Bb            G
cigarette to spare
             C            F       
I like your high-heels    -   and 
      Bb           G
the shade of your hair
             C        F       
Wanna know a secret   -  do you 
    Bb            G
promise not to tell
   C     N.C.
I monkey on you baby  -  you got me 
in your spell

[Chorus]
            F9
I’m like a monkey off the tree
            C7
I’m like a monkey you will see
        G9                   F9
That I monkey on you baby
                            C
Tell me that you monkey on me

[Verse 2]
        C       F         Bb     
Fancy driving  -  to the house up
         G
 by the moon
           C         F     Bb    
And I was made, for love - and 
          G
I’m loving you
                  C       F        
You say you’re a student  -  well, 
Bb          G
understudy me
   C     N.C.
I monkey on you baby, it’s easy 
can’t you see

[Chorus]
            F9
I’m like a monkey off the tree
            C7
I’m like a monkey you will see

Tell me that you monkey on me

[Verse 3]
               C        F      
Those bloody good-girl looks  -  
         Bb             G
have thrown me over clean
             C        F          
Not exactly Harold   -  but then 
Bb              G
I’m not really Dean
                C        F   Bb  
I reckon, we’d walking  -  alone 
          G
upon the sand
   C     N.C.
I monkey on you baby, and I ought to
 hold your hand

[Chorus]
            F9
I’m like a monkey off the tree
            C7
I’m like a monkey you will see
        G9                   F9
that I monkey on you baby,
                           C
Tell me that you monkey on me
