But she’s bound for a lucky streak
But she’s bound for a lucky streak
'Cause we can’t make promises
She wants to see the monkey do the tricks
She wants to stop the imaginary movie cameras in her head
Take your hands off the money
And she sings, sings with the natives
Run as fast as you can
In the state that we’re in, that we’re in
Well, she’s run out of dimes
And play shadow games all day long
Put your hands on the monkey
In the state that we’re in, state that we’re in
Put your hands on the monkey
'Cause they follow her wherever she goes
In the state, in the state
Put your hands on the monkey
And she closes like a flower in frigid weather
Put your hands on the monkey
Put your hands on the monkey
'Cause we can’t make promises
Take your hands off the money
'Cause we can’t make promises
Put your hands on the monkey
Run as fast as you can
Sometimes she sits with the lights off
Run as fast as you can
In the state that we’re in
She wants to giggle like the girls in the schoolyard
Put your hands on the monkey
'Cause we can’t make promises
She wants to turn into a Japanese tattoo
Take your hands off the money
Run as fast as you can
Take your hands off the money
Put your hands on the monkey
She’s run out of dimes
