[Verse 1]
Ab        Db                    Fm Db Fm Eb
 I got an ape performing in my head
Ab            Db                       Fm Db Fm Eb
 If he don't stop then I will soon be dead
Db                  Fm
 This monkey's no friend of mine
   Db                              Fm
I try to act straight but he's on cloud number nine
Db                      Fm
 He's got a cup made of tin
           Bb                     Eb
And it's 'cause of him you won't let me in


[Verse 2]
Ab            Db                   Fm Db Fm Eb
 He bangs a drum so I can get no sleep, no
Ab            Db                     Fm Db Fm Eb
 Well he's a monkey but he can't be beat
Db                     Fm
 Head over heels on banana peel
     Db                     Fm
I'm getting confused as to what I feel
     Db                  Fm
And every time I try to speak
   Bb                           Eb
He always puts his monkeytongue in my cheek


[Chorus]
    C       Fm          Bb                    Eb
And oh, my, my - I'd do anything to make him die
    C           Fm           Db
And oh then I'd see there's nothing I can do
     Eb                     Ab
The monkey's just a part of me


[Verse 3]
Ab        Db                    Fm Db Fm Eb
 I got a monkey singing in my brain, yeah
Ab               Db                     Fm Db Fm Eb

 I got some monkey business to attend, yeah
Ab             Db                      Fm Db Fm Eb
 I think I'll ask him if he'd hold my hand, yeah
Db                    Fm
 And ask him to be a friend of mine
   Db                     Fm
Together we'll fly up to cloud number nine
Db                         Fm
 And share his cup made of tin
     Bb                      Eb
And maybe then you'd like to let us in


[Chorus]
    C       Fm         Bb                     Eb
And oh, my, my - I did everything to make him die
    C        Fm           Db
And oh now I see there's nothing I can do
     Eb                     Ab
The monkey's just a part of me
