Don’t Look At the Monkey

there’s a monkey in the spotlight
takin’ a bow
wants you to understand he’s
runnin’ things now

but don’t look at the monkey

he’s got a golf club
and a cell phone too
and you can’t stop watchin’
if you want to

but don’t look at the monkey

there’s a monkey in the boardroom
blowing a fuse
and everybody’s runnin’ around
confused

but don’t look at the monkey

he’s fired everybody
on the line tonight
and he’ll fire you too
if it feels right

but don’t look at the monkey

if you look at the monkey all you’ll see
is what somebody out there wants you to see
and that’s not smart so take it from me
and don’t look at the monkey

there’s a monkey on the news
on CNN
they say he’s
under investigation

but don’t look at the monkey

he’s in trouble
with the FBI
his porn star buddy
was a Russian spy

but don’t look at the monkey

stupid is
where stupid went
and stupid is a monkey
for a president

but don’t look at the monkey

flatten him out
like a cardboard penny
kick him the brains
if he’s got any

but don’t look at the monkey
