You got to get that funky monkey
Get that funky monkey
Get that funky monkey off your back, Jack!

Ooh, I don't want you to hide now
No need to cover your tracks
Just reach down into your soul babe
And bring my brother back
You got to get that funky monkey
Get that funky monkey
Get that funky monkey off your back!

You say you lost your reason
But the meaning's comin' through
Well I just talked to a friend of mine
Who still believes in you
He'll help you to get that funky monkey
Get that funky monkey
Get that funky monkey off your back!

First thing in the morning
Out on the street for skag
Don't you know what you really need
Is an eternal life-time bag; Jesus
Get's that funky monkey
Get's that funky monkey
Get's that funky monkey off your back!

Get that funky monkey
Get that funky monkey
Get that funky monkey
Off your back!
