lyrics

Every Man Has A Monkey

Every man's got a monkey
Every man has got a monkey
Every man has got a monkey
Up in his family tree

Everybody I know is different
We come in all sizes and shapes
Somebody tries to tell me he's born better
Man, that makes me just want to go ape

I say, Every man's got a monkey
Every man has got a monkey
Every man has got a monkey
Up in his family tree

Well, your daddy's got a whole lot of money
And your mama says your blood is blue
But if you think that that makes you the top banana
Well, buddy, I got news for you

Because Every man's got a monkey
Every man has got a monkey
Every man has got a monkey
Up in his family tree

Some people are so black they're purple
Others are so white they're pink
But purple or pink, yellow or tan
We're all cousins to the missing link

I say, Every man's got a monkey
Every man has got a monkey
Every man has got a monkey
Up in his family tree
