about

A mysterious narrator recounts the story of the wrongfully accused man in the monkey disguise, but not all is as it seems....

lyrics

Oh the bank got robbed, it was an inside job
but the man can't find a lead
The deputy called all the folks to the hall
but they never called on me
Cause I was there, and I took great care
to assess that culprits features
He was big and brown, hanging upside down
oh that fearsome jungle creature
It was the man in the monkey disguise
he had them great big monkey man eyes
He does a great impression of Leroy Benson
it's the man in the monkey disguise

Now the town folk said 'We're gonna get his head
and mount it up on a plate
So they lit their torches, and with sharpened pitchforks
went looking for that primate
They combed the streets for seven whole weeks
but they never found a clue
Lack of evidence, it didn't make no sense
when the press broke with the news
They caught the man in the monkey disguise
he had them great big monkey man eyes
Now he don't do impressions, but don't second guess it
it's the man in the monkey disguise

Oh when the people cry for someone to die
you know it don't take very long
Cause everyone needs someone to bleed
no matter who done 'em wrong
It sure was a shame that boy took the blame
but the press they needed a show
Oh I'm confident of his innocence
Why? I think you know
I'm the man in the monkey disguise
I tell great big monkey man lies
I don't need impressions to coerce confessions
I'm the man in the monkey disguise

I'm the man in the monkey disguise
I tell great big monkey man lies
I do a great impression of Leroy Benson
I'm the man in the monkey disguise
