50/90 collab with the great and wonderful Tom Spademan. I think it's one of my faves I've ever written. :)

lyrics

V1
Got five monkeys on my shoulder
Got five monkeys on my back
All they do is jibber jabber
I think I’m gonna crack

The first one says get lucky
The second says just get stoned
The third one says I’m hungry
The fourth just drink alone

C
The fifth one says
Yes, the fifth one says
Get lost
Get lost

V2
Got five monkeys on my shoulder
Got five monkeys on my back
All they say is blah blah blah blah
I think I’m gonna crack

The first one says I’m ugly
The second one says I’m fat
The third one says I’m crazy
The fourth says I’m a brat

V3
That fifth monkey on my shoulder
That fifth monkey on my back
I think he’s got it right now
Think I’m never coming back
