And let the organ grinder go

(Punish the monkey)
There's your quid pro quo
Somebody’s gonna take the fall

That you and your employer
And it looks as though
Times I've said are flunky
(Punish the monkey)
Punish the monkey

(Punish the monkey)
You’ve been talking to a lawyer
And let the organ grinder go
Are you gonna pretend
Punish the monkey
Are still the best of friends?
The telephone is ringing
Punish the monkey

It’s a quiet life from here on in
He’s asking ‘bout a smoking gun
Punish the monkey

And let the organ grinder go

He won’t be sidetracked
Punish the monkey
And let the organ grinder go
But you’re not picking up
You’ve gone as quiet as a church mouse
Punish the monkey
And checking on your rights
You dropped your poisoned cup
Here comes a policeman
(Punish the monkey)

The boss has hung you out to dry
Punish the monkey, yeah
Punish the monkey, yeah
Punish the monkey
Punish the monkey, yeah

He’s after the bad
Punish the monkey
Punish the monkey
Punish the monkey
Punish the monkey
And everybody knows
