Richard Thompson - Bad Monkey - Текст песни

(Richard Thompson) 

One thing always leads to another 
In life and love they say 
You got too close and now 
That boy's gonna make you rue the day 
You grab his ankles when he flies 
You catch him when he falls 
Here's the thing to say to him 
Before you climb the walls: 

Shame, shame on you, you Bad Monkey 
One day you're up, next day you're down 
Why do you monkey my heart around 
Shame, shame on you, you Bad Monkey 
I'm not coming on the roller coaster with you 

I see your nerves are jangled, honey, 
You're a walking emotional wreck 
He's dealing you some jokers 
Off the bottom of the deck 
He goes from joy to suicide 
About 15 times a day 
Here's the thing to scream out loud 
From 100 miles away 

Shame, shame on you, you Bad Monkey 
One day you're up, next day you're down 
Why do you monkey my heart around 
Shame, shame on you, you Bad Monkey 
I'm not coming on the roller coaster with you 

Where's the joy in a boy who dribbles 
When he drinks his tea 
I've seen better manners from 
A baby chimpanzee 
On fairground rides you grip the sides 
And scream until you're blue 
You'll be screaming the rest of your life 
If he gets hold with you
