|
| You are about to embark on a journey
|
| You are going to visit monkeys, dolphins
|
| And people
|
| I look around and all I see are politicians on the take
|
| I look at me, I am the same but I don’t notice
|
| And I have learned that everybody
|
| Has a price tag on his head
|
| Though it’s money that will make the monkey dance
|
| Yes, it’s money that will make the monkey dance
|
| And it’s money that will make the monkey dance
|
| Yes, it’s money that will make the monkey, monkey
|
| Monkey dance
|
| On Sunday mornings when I went went to church
|
| A buck was always made
|
| A true parade to pave the way into the glory
|
| And 30 coins was all they paid for
|
| All the ways I should behave
|
| Though it’s money that will make the monkey dance
|
| Yes, it’s money that will make the monkey dance
|
| And it’s money that will make the monkey dance
|
| Yes, it’s money that will make the monkey dance
|
| Aye, awa ko ako
|
| And I have paid my way through life
|
| I’ve kept myself so far removed
|
| From everyone and everything that could be purchased
|
| I will collect what I’ve put in my piggy bank is locked within
|
| Though it’s money that will make the monkey dance
|
| Yes, it’s money that will make the monkey dance
|
| And it’s money that will make the monkey dance
|
| Oh, I want money give me money, so much money
|
| Tender money
|
| 'Cause it’s money that will make the monkey dance
|
| I’m the monkey, I’m the monkey
|
| Eh marara I
|
| And though my pockets have a hole
|
| I feel content within my soul
|
| I’ve been sincere with all the customers encountered
|
| I can’t complain, I’m rich in love
|
| And I must thank my God above
|
| Though it’s money that will make the monkey dance
|
| Yes, it’s money that will make the monkey dance
|
| And it’s money that will make the monkey dance
|
| Yes, it’s money that will make the monkey dance |
