    Tweeter and the Monkey Man were hard up for cash
    G                C               G
    They stayed up all night selling cocaine and hash
    G                     C                   G
    To the boys in the barrooms, the men in the street
    G                 C                G
    They didn't know what they were in for, but they had to compete

    G                C               G
    Tweeter was a Monkey Man, he was skinny and tall
    G                C               G
    He'd take a hit of the stuff, then he'd go for it all
    G                  C                G
    But the Monkey Man's got the blues, and it ain't no joke
    G                C                  G
    He'd sell it for a penny, but he would never choke

    G                   C                G
    The Monkey Man said, "Tweeter, don't you worry 'bout the cash"
    G                    C                    G
    "We'll get ourselves a fortune, we'll make it last"
    G                 C                G
    But the cops were on their tail, they were closing in fast
    G                C               G
    Tweeter and the Monkey Man knew it wouldn't last

    G                  C               G
    Tweeter and the Monkey Man, they were living in a dream
    G                   C               G
    But the dream was getting darker, nothing's as it seems
    G                   C                   G
    The Monkey Man said, "Tweeter, don't you worry 'bout a thing"
    G                  C               G
    "We'll keep on living, we'll do our own thing"
