Funky Monkey Lyrics

Francis Magalona Funky Monkey

Funky monkey rockabye baby on the tree tops
             where the rain drops fluky like the tail of a whale,
             tales from monkeys without tails
          Cranky lanky he's a junkie, smoking dope until he chokes,
            risky frisky
          and drinkin whiskey dying young is just another hoax
          Funky Monkey (kumain ng saging)
          Funky Monkey (sumabit sa baging)
          Fun-ky  Mon-key!
          Sweet riffs and and funky licks,
            kanabiz and a bag of tricks
          Like a fuel injected pump,
            these monkeys make me wanna jump
          Funky monkey rockabye baby
            on the tree trops where the rain drops
          Fluky like the tail of a whale,
            tales from monkey's without tails
          Funky monkey rockabye baby
            on the treetops where the raindrops
          keep fallin on my head & I said to myself,
            "Have I read the books on the shelf?"
          Cuz this is how we do it, real funky,
            I figured if  you would really wanna
          know then I'm a show you how it's done gee whiz,
            this is the style
          run the 1/4 mile under a minute I get in it,
            like the Stylistics
          I'm on the case of Jimi Hendrix,
            1966, my cheeks are full of lipstick
          Wipe it off with a soft tissue paper I wanna be great,
            no rephrase that
          I wanna be greater! Like the tail of the whale,
            tales from monkeys w/out tails
          Funky monkey, a funky junkie,
            risky frisky and drinkin whiskey keep
          smokin on dope until he chokes,
            because dyin young is just another hoax
          another scam, act like a ham,
            caught stealin a cheat on the final exam
          the tricks of the trade is to crank funky licks,
            sweet riffs and a bag of tricks
          funky junkie with a bandana,
            funky monkey eat a banana (funky ng ina mo!)
