T Bone Burnett - Monkey Dance lyrics

She slides across the floor Puts her head on his shoulders His eyes search for the door Even as he pulls her closer She is a raging beauty He writes I love you truly In lipstick on her mirror Which leaves her in a furor I want to make you happy I want to make you happy I want to make you happy I want to make you happy We do the monkey dance it's a crazy feeling Monkey dance what are we concealing Monkey dance we shall be revealing We do the monkey dance when the blows all glance Monkey dance we do the monkey dance His fingers brush her face She quivers like a fawn He's lost in her embrace She turns around he's gone She knows his lies are barefaced As she descends the staircase Her clothes are falling off her He can't resist her offer I want to make you happy I want to make you happy I want to make you happy I want to make you happy We do the monkey dance it's a crazy feeling Monkey dance what are we concealing Monkey dance we shall be revealing We do the monkey dance when the blows all glance Monkey dance we do the monkey dance She has a will of iron He reads her Keats and Byron Til she can go no further He starts to read her Thurber I want to make you happy I want to make you happy You want to make me happy You want to make me happy We do the monkey dance it's a crazy feeling Monkey dance what are we concealing Monkey dance we shall be revealing
