[F]
Oh, Red went and bought himself a monkey.
[Fm] Got him from a pawn shop broker.
[Am] He taught that [Fm] monkey how to good little bid.
[F] And he taught him how to play stud poker.
Last night they were [Fm] gambling in the kitchen.
[Bb] Monkey, he was taking a beat.
[C] Monkey said, Red, I'm [Bb] going to shoot you dead.
Because [F] I know darn well you've been a cheat.
[Fm] Well, run, Red, run, cause he's got your [Ab] gun.
And he's aiming [Bb] it at your head.
[Am]
[Bb] Run, Red, run, cause he's got your [Ab] gun.
And he's aiming it [F] at your head.
[C] You better get up and wail.
[Bb] You better move your [Ab] tail.
Before [F] he feels it all full of lead.
Oh, Red jumped up and he started to move.
[Bb] Like a P-80 Sabre Jet.
[C] He zoomed around the [Bb] corner and he disappeared.
[F]
And everybody [A] started to cheer.
[Fm]
Rain was on, you know the chase was [F] on.
[Bb] And Red, he sure could run.
[D] But let [C] me tell you, boy, don't sell [Bb] that monkey's shot.
Cause he's [F] a traveling son of a gun.
