Pete Droge Two Steppin Monkey
Doctor Grey was on the ferris wheel, missed the concert in the park
Left his children at the old folks home, paints self portraits in the dark
Plays his Mozart loud, cuts the coupons out, he thanks psychology for paying
But that pension plan's got less to give than he ever wanted
He's just a Two Steppin' Monkey, a two steppin monkey's all he'll ever be
And I'm just a two steppin' monkey too, so let's put him in the zoo with you and me.
Billy Cambell revved his engine up, hit the strip on a Friday night
Parked his truck outside the convenience store, walked inside and shot the clerk
Found some time to kill, thrills were hard to find, now it's hard time in the pen
But that jail cell's got less to give than he ever wanted
He's just a two steppin' monkey, a two steppin' monkey's all he'll ever be
And I'm just a two steppin' monkey too, so let's put him in the zoo with you and me.
The rent was paid again too late this week, and Mr. Maxwell's got his tie too tight
Thought it might change the way his girlfriend felt, to see him dressing up at night
He's got his cigarettes and his amphetamines, he's got his coffee in the morning
But that construction site's got less to give than he ever wanted
He's just a two steppin' monkey, a two steppin' monkey's all he'll ever be
And I'm just a two steppin' monkey too, so let's put him in the zoo with you and me.
