David Crosby - Monkey And The Underdog lyrics

by David Crosby, Craig Doerge Well I went out for my evenin' stroll All along the boulevard It's familiar turf, from the hills To the surf I treat it like my front yard Well I right away ran into a girl I know. She said "you gotta come with me tonight, the word is out that the underdog and the monkey gonna finally fight." Been fightin'...fightin' fightin' just to stay alive I've been fightin'...fightin' Fightin' to get from Four o'clock to five. Now I'm not what you'd call a violent man. But the news brought a smile to my face. Cause the underdog is a friend of mine. I'd love to see him Put that monkey in his place. You may think I'm crazy The odds are against the dog you understand; This monkey is as strong as a gorilla. He'd stretch a tire like a rubber band. But I've been fightin'...fightin' fightin' just to stay alive I've been fightin'...fightin' Fightin' to get from Four o'clock to five. Now, he's sneaky and he'll smile Right at you, pretend to like your boots And all the while, he'd be thinking How to rip your soul out by the roots. When we got there my old underdog. He didn't really look too goo, no But when his eyes met mine and he said "I'll kick his a**." and I knew right then he would I've been fightin' I've been fightin' Fightin' just to stay alive I've been fightin'...fightin' Fightin' to get from Four o'clock to five. Well now I don't want To bore you. With a bunch of dialogue. It's not how much dog is in the fight It's how much fight is in the dog. And I've been fightin'...oh fightin' Fightin' just to stay alive I've been fightin'...yeah fightin' Fightin' to get from Four o'clock to five. I've been fightin'...oh fightin' Fightin' just to stay alive I've been fightin'...yeah fightin' Fightin' to get from Four o'clock to five. I've been fightin'...oh fightin' Fightin' just to stay alive I've been fightin'...yeah fightin' Fightin' to get from Four o'clock to five. (c) 1988 Stay Straight Music (BMI)/Fair Star Music Inc.
