[E] And Miss Britt, Miss Britt, that's kind of good, isn't it?
Miss Britt, Mrs.
Britt.
Okay, Etta.
Okay, Miss Britt, Miss Britt.
Okay, well, what do you, you tell me, I know you are,
but that's got nothing to do with showtime.
If Miss Britt sounds good, why you want to mess with it?
Now, I don't want to confound your situation,
so [Bm] you tell me, how would you like to be referred to?
Good, okay.
All right.
[C]
[E]
All right.
So your friends have been telling you I'm out of my mind,
[A] acting all wild and weird.
[E] I've been shopping and screeching, bouncing off the
walls, [B] swinging from the chandelier.
[Eb] And [Em] I've been running [E] through the neon jungle.
[A] I've been chasing every woman [Bb] in town.
Once [E] you make a man into a monkey,
[B] that monkey's gonna [E] monkey to the hell.
[A] [E] I've been in here to see my new [Em] girlfriend.
[A] I picked her [Em] up down [A] at the zoo.
[E] She got rings in her nose, glitter on her toes,
[B] and a farewell place tattoo.
[E] Now that I've been up on the high,
[A] they never gonna get me [Bb] down.
Once you [E] make a man into a monkey,
[B] that monkey's gonna monkey [E] around.
[G] [A] Once you have me dancing, nothing in love can change.
[E] Begging for your small train [Em] love.
[A] I've been jumping the hoops, doing loop de loop.
[B] Girl, I finally have enough.
So [E] when you see me, I'm rocking in my little red hat.
[A] Boy, it ain't far, lower [Bb] town.
You [E] make a man into a monkey,
[B] that monkey's gonna [E] monkey around.
All right, monkey time.
Here we go.
