Monkey See, Monkey Do
Jerry G. Hludzik / Carson Mader (1994)

Musical Introduction

(V1)
Well, I’m really not the man that I would like to be
But I didn’t have a choice in what was taught to me
’Cause you raised me up in your lowly sort of way
And that’s the reason why I’m just like you today
I saw you hit my mama, and little sister, too
So sometimes now my wife shows up in black and blue

(C1)
Oh, monkey see, monkey do
Oh, that’s how I turned out like you
’Cause little monkeys sees what the big monkeys do
It wasn’t part of any plan
Just the natural evolution of this man

Music Break

(V2)
You always had a lot to say ‘bout what you thought you knew
So now I know it all, and I shoot my mouth off too
But as I watch my boy, now I can clearly see
That I’ve gotta break this chain, so I can set him free
From this monkey’s family tree

(C2)
Oh, monkey see, monkey do
Oh, that’s how I turned out like you
’Cause little monkeys sees what the big monkeys do
It wasn’t part of any plan
Just the natural evolution of this man

Music Break

(Bridge)
Yeah, I’m gonna lift the shadow, and show him some new light
So he can see the wrong, and try to do it right

(C3)
Oh, monkey see, monkey do
Oh, that’s how I turned out like you
’Cause little monkeys sees what the big monkeys do
It wasn’t part of any plan
Just the natural evolution of this man

(Tag Lines)
Monkey see, monkey do
Oh, that’s how I turned out like you
It wasn’t part of any plan
Just the natural evolution of this man
