Doctor Grey was on the ferris wheel   Missed the concert in the park   Left his children at the old folks home   Paints self portraits in the dark      Plays his Mozart loud, cuts the coupons out   He thanks psychology for paying   But that pension plan's got less   To give than he ever wanted      He's just a two steppin' monkey   A two steppin? monkey's all he'll ever be   And I'm just a two steppin' monkey too   So let's put him in the zoo with you and me      Billy Cambell revved his engine up   Hit the strip on a Friday night   Parked his truck outside the convenience store   Walked inside and shot the clerk      Found some time to kill, thrills were hard to find   Now it's hard time in the pen   But that jail cell's got less   To give than he ever wanted      He's just a two steppin' monkey   A two steppin' monkey's all he'll ever be   And I'm just a two steppin' monkey too   So let's put him in the zoo with you and me      The rent was paid again too late this week   And Mr. Maxwell's got his tie too tight   Thought it might change the way his girlfriend felt   To see him dressing up at night      He's got his cigarettes and his amphetamines   He's got his coffee in the morning   But that construction site's got less   To give than he ever wanted      He's just a two steppin' monkey   A two steppin' monkey's all he'll ever be   And I'm just a two steppin' monkey too   So let's put him in the zoo with you and me
