Tweeter and the Monkey Man

were hard up for cash

They stayed up all night

selling cocaine and hash

For reasons unexplained
Am
she loved the Monkey Man
Tweeter was a Boy Scout
G
'fore she went to Vietnam

And found out the hard way,

no body gives a damn
They knew that they found freedom

just a cross the Jersey line
F
So they hopped into a stolen car,

took Highway 99

And the walls came down

The undercover cop

never liked the Monkey Man

Even back in childhood

he wanted to see him in the can

to a racketeer named Bill

She made secret calls to the Monkey Man

from a mansion on the hill
It was out on Thunder Road,

Tweeter at the wheel

They crashed into paradise,

they could hear them tires squeal

"Everyone of you is a liar

If you don't surrender now

it's gonna go down to the wire"

An ambulance rolled up,

a state- trooper close behind

Tweeter took his gun away

and messed up his mind

tied up to a tree

by the old aban doned factory
Next day the undercover cop was

hot in pursuit

He was taking the whole thing personal,

"It was you to me who taught

In Jersey anything's legal

as long as you don't get caught"

Some place by Rahwey Prison

said, "It's best that you don't know."

face down in a field

Verse 5
Am
Now the town of Jersey City
G
is quiet ing down again
F
I'm sitting in a gambling club
Am
called the Lion's Den
The TV set was blown up,
G
every bit of it is gone
F
Ever since the nightly news showed
Am
that the Monkey Man was on
I guess I'll go to Florida
G
and get myself some sun
F
There ain't no more opportunity here,
Am
everything's been done
Sometimes I think of Tweeter,
G
some times I think of Jan
F
Some times I don't think about nothing
Am
but the Monkey Man
