I'm goin' to Chicago, sorry but I can't take you
Yes I'm goin' to Chicago, sorry but I can't take you
'Cause there's nothin' on State Street, that a
monkey man
can do
I've got a monkey man here, a monkey man over there
I've got a monkey man here, a monkey man over there
If monkey men were money, I'd be a Chicago millionaire
I've got fourteen men now, I only want one more
I've got fourteen men now, and I only want one more
As soon as I can get one, I'll let these fourteen go
Now I'm goin' tell you, like the day goes so must you
Now I'm goin' tell you, like the day goes so must you
When you nobody no money, mama can no usin' you
I can take my monkey men, and stand them all in line
I can take my monkey men, and stand them all in line
Anybody can count them, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight times
Here is the table of contents.
