Lyrics David Allan Coe – One Monkey

Doctor try’n’ to tell me,
That I’m gettin’ low on sap.
I’m in a strange, she’s try’n’ to drink me in.
I think I got the clap.

Po-lice try’n’ to catch me.
Gonna put my ass in jail.
So it’s the end, I got no friends.
An’ I’ll never make my bail.
Oh, no, that ain’t the way I wanna go.
Oh, no, one monkey don’t stop no show.

Wa-oww!

Fireman wants to sue me,
Said, «I’ll set your ass on fire.»
Said, «I’ll beat ya, I’ll mistreat ya.»
He’s a fuckin’ liar.
Oh, no, one monkey don’t stop no show.
Oh, no, that ain’t the way I wanna go.

Warden wants to put me,
Said, in the ‘lectric chair.
Said, «Good riddance to bad rubbish.»
He don’t really even care.
Oh, no, that ain’t the way I gonna go.
Oh, no, one monkey don’t stop no show.
Yeah-aw.

Fireman wants to sue me,
Said, «I’ll set your ass on fire.»
Said, «I’ll beat ya, I’ll mistreat ya.»
He’s a fuckin’ liar.

Warden wants to put me,
In the ee-lectric chair.
Says, «Good riddance to bad rubbish.»
He don’t really even care.
But oh, no, one monkey don’t stop no show.
Oh, no, that ain’t the way I’m gonna go.
Wa-oww!
