Lyrics

To the tune of "Monkey Man" by The ROLLING STONES

I'm a football pickin' monkey, I'm just a gambling junkie
And I fling my poo

I eat cold Italian pizza, and Jaws typically beats me
When I go 1-2

But I get loose and get around, in a hot tub with Paul Brown
Don Shula's there too

Well I am just a monkey man
Glad that Mr. Tony loves this... monkey too

Having dinner with Frank Gore, didn't help the Niners score
Yeah, that game blew

After golfing with Chuck Knox, I thought all my picks were locks
But I lost that one too

Thought I had a real hot tip
Then I realized, I'm just a chimp
No monkey do

Well, stick me in a suit and it's funny, but bet with me and you'll lose your money
Nigel knows it's true



(Note: Couldn't find a good instrumental version of the song, so I searched the internet far and wide and found a ukelele version. Wish I had the original, but the words ring true!)

    Definitely wasn't me, KJ! I found a youtube video of the ukelele cover, and used the (second) best website in existence "Youtube to MP3" to download the track. But big up to bitey2 on Youtube for his track.
