Song Lyrics:

[Announcer 1]

Finally here this evening a variation of this nation’s love affair with the car.
Increasingly, it’s turning out to be a love affair with the truck. Nearly one
of every five new vehicles sold in this country is a truck. People who buy them, swear by them.
People who don’t, often swear at them. Here’s ABC’s Chris Fury.

[Announcer 2]

Flushmore is a well dressed village of eighty-five hundred people just down the train tracks from Chicago.
It has 5 private country clubs, a puddle parlor, and an espresso bar.
Appearances count.

Monkey, Mo-mo-monkey
Monkey, Mo-mo-monkey
Amen
Monkey, Mo-mo-monkey
Amen
Monkey, Mo-mo-monkey

New York New York
It is the Best
New York New York
Forget the rest
New York New York
They say it’s cool
New York New York
Don’t call me a fool
New York New York
What you say?
New York New York
Have a nice day
New York New York
They say it’s tough
New York New York
But I like it rough

I got the monkey on my back
I got the monkey on my back
I got the monkey on my back
I got the monkey on my back
Mon-key

New York New York
I like this place
New York New York
Now shut your face
New York New York
Come on baby
New York New York
Just follow me
New York New York
Let’s go downtown
New York New York
Let’s stick around
New York New York
I like this stretch
New York New York
It is the best

I got the monkey on my back
Amen
I got the monkey on my back
A-a-a-amen
I got the monkey on my back
Amen
I got the monkey on my back
Mon-key

Amen, amen, amen, amen

What you say?
Amen
Have a nice day

I got the monkey on my back
He’s got the monkey
I got the monkey on my back
(?)
I got the monkey on my back
Huh, what’d you say Bono?
I got the monkey on my back
Aah aah aah
Huh, what’d you say? You got a monkey?
On your back, that’s what it is

Monkey / Oh no
Monkey / Right on
Monkey / Right on your big fat back
Ooo…(sounds like Bongolese to end)
