Pete Droge - Two Steppin Monkey lyrics

Doctor Grey was on the Ferris wheel Missed the concert in the park Left his children at the old folks home Paints self portraits in the dark Plays his Mozart loud Cuts the coupons out He thanks psychology for paying But that pension plan's got less to give than he ever wanted He's just a two steppin' monkey A two steppin' monkey's all he'll ever be And I'm just a two steppin' monkey too So let's put him in the zoo with you and me Billy Campbell revved his engine up Hit the strip on a Friday night Parked his truck outside the convenience store Walked inside and shot the clerk Found some time to k** Thrills were hard to find Now it's hard time in the pen But that jail cell's got less to give than he ever wanted He's just a two steppin' monkey A two steppin' monkey's all he'll ever be And I'm just a two steppin' monkey too So let's put him in the zoo with you and me The rent was paid again too late this week And Mr. Maxwell's got his tie too tight Thought it might change the way his girlfriend felt To see him dressing up at night He's got his cigarettes and his amphetamines He's got his coffee in the morning But that construction site's got less to give than he ever wanted He's just a two steppin' monkey A two steppin' monkey's all he'll ever be And I'm just a two steppin' monkey too So let's put him in the zoo with you and me
