When is it time to surrender?
A little monkey in a lion's den
A little monkey with a drum jumpin'
For their fun
Yeah I feel a little tender then

And when I am away remember
A cheap rhyme never fits the bill
'Cos I've been around the world,
But I missed my girl
And I feel a little tender still

So tell me if you're feeling tender,
My baby, if you're feeling blue,
I've got some money put away
For a great escape
And I could run for a girl like you
And I can make plans if you can
I know there's fear in being true

Maybe a monkey with a drum
I am to some,
But know I'm not that to you

And I can make plans if you can,
You know we've gotta take a bird's
Eye view
And from way up here,
Things are looking pretty clear
Above the clouds the skies are always blue,
Always blue

So tell me if you're feeling tender,
My baby, if you're feeling blue,
I've got some money put away
For a great escape
And I could run for a girl like you
And I can make plans if you can
I know there's fear in being true

(X2)
Maybe a monkey with a drum
I am to some,
But know I'm not that to you
