Dance Monkey Lyrics

I was in the wild
Living life from tree to tree
So I learned a simple song
And sang in a jamboree

And the people came and cheered
I thought that I was finally free
Till they sold me to a man
Who had another plan for me

He said: Dance monkey, dance
Play that song I know
He said: Dance monkey, dance
In this yellow coat

Dance, dance, dance monkey
Dance, dance, dance monkey
Dance, dance, dance monkey

Saved up just enough
Enough to buy a new guitar
And I wrote a simple song
An honest message from my heart

When I sang it to the crowd
It was not the same applause
I hear them screaming out
You know what we came here for

He said: Dance monkey, dance
Play that song I know
He said: Dance monkey, dance
In this yellow coat

Dance, dance, dance monkey
Dance, dance, dance monkey

It doesn't matter what the people say
You can take my house way
Cause I know that I'll never be, no
Dance, dance, dance monkey
It doesn't matter what the people say
You can take my house way
Cause I know that I'll never be, no
Dance monkey, dance monkey
Dance monkey, dance monkey

All members of the band are originally from the Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The lead singer of MAGIC!, Nasri, had been working with and writing songs for different pop acts prior to the start of the band. He had met Mark Pelli in the studio and within a week they had written the song "Don't Judge Me" for Chris Brown.
