Tampa Red - She Want to Sell My Monkey

To Rate
- Hey, Tampa
- Yeah, man
- Where that monkey you had up there in the cage?
- Well, man, my gal wanna sell it, I'll tell you all about it though, listen

Me and my baby keep on falling out
But let me tell you, Maceo, here's what it's all about
She wanna sell my monkey, she wanna sell my monkey
She wanna sell my monkey, but that will never do

- You better get hip to yourself, old man

Now of course, he used to be hers
But she gave him to mе, now why she wanna sell him
I just can't see
She want to sеll my monkey, she wanna sell my monkey
She wanna sell my monkey, but that will never do

She want to know why we don't get along
But she don't even realize that she's doing me wrong
She want to sell my monkey, she wanna sell my monkey
She wanna sell my monkey, but that will never do

- Listen, Tampa, I wanna give you advice
- Yeah, man
- Now, listen here Tampa, now if I was you
- Yeah, man
- I'd make a big steel and barring
And bring it all home to you, and then she won't have to sell her monkey
- Oh, I see
- Or I, I wouldn't have let her sell it
- She would have wigged like that?
- Now if it was me, that would never do
- Oh, I'd be the head (?)
I have to hang around home everyday and night
I mean you want her scared, you know that's first, that little gal
Out of my sight, she may sell my monkey
She may sell my monkey (oh you can't take it hon, you can't take it)
She may sell my monkey, then I know that would never do

Maceo, I'll be evil as any man can be
Until I make her realize him still belong to me
She want to sell my monkey, she want to sell my monkey
She wanna sell my monkey, but that will never do
Hold it baby
