Chorus
G
Space Monkey, Space Monkey
                C            G
What you doing out there?
G                          D          G
Why it's dark as a dungeon way up in the air

Verse
G                                        C                 G
Come gather round me you little monkeys and a story I'll tell
G                             D                   G
About a brave young primate, outer space knew him well
G                           C       G
He was born at the top of a big old tree
G        D     C
Way back in 1953.

Verse
G                                  C                 G
He could swing through the jungle and hang by his toes
G                                        D         G
Till they took him to Russia cause they could I suppose
G                                         C          G
They dressed him up in a spacesuit and it started to snow
G                             D           G
Shot him off in a rocket where no man would go

Chorus
G
Space Monkey Space Monkey
                C            G
What you doing out there?
G                          D             G
Why it's dark as a dungeon way up in the air
G                                 C              G
There'll be no one to greet you when you get back home
G                                D             G
No hammer or sickle you'll all be all on your own.

Verse
G                                  C        G
He had plenty of Cuban bananas and loads of Spam
G                                       D         G
But he found great difficulty trying to open the can
G                                                 C   G
One day he slipped on a banana peel and the ship lost control
G                          D              G
It spun out of orbit and shot out the black hole
G                              C                 G
It's been four decades now, that's nine monkey years
G                                        D              G
That's a long time for a Space Monkey to confront all his fears

Chorus
G
Space Monkey Space Monkey
                C    G
What you doing out there?
G                          D              G
Why it's dark as a dungeon way up in the air
G                               C               G
There'll be no one to greet you when you get back home
G                                    D         G
No hammer or sickle you'll all be all on your own.

Verse
G
Space Monkey, Space Monkey
   G        C      G
It's time to get real
G                       D           G
The space race is over, how does it feel
G                               C                 G
Cold War's had a heatwave, Iron Curtain's torn down
G                               D               G
They've rolled up the carpet in Space Monkey town
G                               C            G
Now Leningrad is Petersburg and Petersburg's hell
G                                D            G
For a card-carrying monkey with a story to tell

SPOKEN
G
The Space Monkey was reportedly last sighted about
N.C.
A half a block off of Red Square
N.C.
In a karaoke bar having a few drinks with some of his friends
N.C.
There was the dog that flew Sputnik
N.C.
And a blind red-headed, one legged parrot
N.C.
Who had done some minor research for Dow Chemical
N.C.
They were drinking American Vodka
N.C.
Imported all the way from Paducah, Kentucky
N.C.
And reportedly had their arms around each other's
N.C.
Shoulders singing.
N.C.
"Those were the days, my friend, we thought they'd never end"

Chorus 2
G
Space Monkey, Space Monkey
        C          G
There's nothing to do
G                                D          G
But it's better than living in a Communist zoo
G                                    C            G
There'll be no one to greet you when you get back home
G                          D              G
No hammer or sickle you'll all be on your own.

Chorus 2
G
Space Monkey, Space Monkey
        C          G
There's nothing to do
G                                D         G
But it's better than living in a Communist zoo
G                                    C           G
There'll be no one to greet you when you get back home
G                             D           G
No hammer or sickle you'll be all on your own.
