Burnett T-bone Monkey Dance Lyrics

Monkey Dance Lyrics

she slides across the floor

 puts her head on his shoulders

 his eyes search for the door

 even as he pulls her closer

 she is a raging beauty

 he writes i love you truly

 in lipstick on her mirror

 which leaves her in a furor

 

           i want to make you happy

 

 his fingers brush her face

 she quivers like a fawn

 he's lost in her embrace

 she turns around he's gone

 she knows his lies are barefaced

 as she descends the staircase

 her clothes are falling off her

 he can't resist her offer

 

           you want to make me happy

 

      we do the monkey dance   it's a crazy feeling

                monkey dance   what are we concealing

                monkey dance   we shall be revealing

 

      we do the monkey dance   when the blows all glance

                monkey dance   we do the monkey dance

 

 she has a will of iron

 he reads her keats and byron

 till she can go no further

 he starts to read her thurber

 

           i want to make you happy

           you want to make me happy

 

      we do the monkey dance   it's a crazy feeling

                monkey dance   what are we concealing

                monkey dance   we shall be revealing

 

      we do the monkey dance   when the blows all glance

                monkey dance   we become advanced

                monkey dance   we do the monkey dance
