I stand in a wide flat land
No shadow or shade of a doubt
!@^% the megaphone man

Met the girl with her hand that's
Covering most of her mouth


Fall in love with a bright idea
And the way a world is revealed to you
Fat man and dancing girl

And most of the show is concealed from view

Monkey in the middle

Keeps singing that tune
I don't want to hear it
Get rid of it soon


MC on the stage tonight
Is a man named Billy Purl

He's The International Fun Boy
And he knows the worth of beautiful girl


Stand on the tightrope
Never dreamed I would fall


Monkey in the middle
Keeps doing that trick
It's making me nervous

Get rid of it quick

I stand in a wide flat land

No shadow or shade of a doubt
Where the megaphone man
Met the girl with her hand

That's covering most of her mouth

Does she tell the truth?

Does she hide the lie?
Does she say it so no one can know?
Fat man and the dancing girl

And it's all part of the show

Stand on the tightrope

Never dreamed I could fall

Monkey in the middle

Keeps singing that tune
I don't want to hear it
Get rid of it soon


Monkey in the middle
Keeps doing that trick

It's making me nervous
Get rid of it quick
