Karaoke Track: Tweeter And The Monkey Man (With Background Vocals) by The Traveling Wilburys (Dancing Frog Karaoke) - Karaoke Nerds

Tweeter and the monkey man
were hard up for cash.
They stayed up all night
sellin' cocaine and hash.

To an undercover cop,
who had a sister named Jan.
For reasons unexplained,
she loved the monkey man

Tweeter was a boy scout,
before she went to Vietnam.
And found out the hard way

nobody gives a damn.

They knew that they found
freedom just across the
Jersey line. So they
hopped into a stolen car,
took highway 99.

And the walls came down,

all the way to hell.
Never saw them when

they're standing. Never saw
them when they fell.

The undercover cop
never liked the monkey man.
Even back in childhood,
he wanted to see him
in the can

Jan got married at fourteen,
to a rackateer named Bill.
She made secret calls to

the monkey man,
from a mansion on the hill.

It was out on thunder road,
Tweeter at the wheel,
they crashed into paradise.
They could hear
them tires squeal.

The undercover cop pulled up
and saidi Everyone 0f yous
a liar. If you don't surrender

now, it's gonna go down
to the wire.
And the walls came down,

all the way to hell.
Never saw them when

they're standing. Never saw
them when they fell.

An ambulance rolled up,
A state trooper close behind.
Tweeter took his gun away
and messed up his mind.

The undercover cop was left
tied up to a tree,

near the souvenir stand, by

the old abandoned factory.

Next day the undercover cop
was in hot pursuit.
He was taking the whole thing
personal.
He didn't care about the loot.

Jan had told him many times,
it was you to me who taught,
in Jersey anythings legal,
as long as you
don't get caught.

And the walls came down,

all the way to hell.
Never saw them when

they're standing. Never saw
them when they fell.

Someplace by Rahlway prison,
they ran out of gas.

The undercover cop had
cornered them saidi
Boy, you didn't think
that this could last.

Jan jumped out of bed,
saidi There's someplace
I gotta go. She took a gun
out of the drawer and saidi
It's best if you don't know

The undercover cop was
found, face down in a field.
The monkey man was on the
river bridge, using Tweeter
as a shield.

Jan said to the monkey mani
I'm not fooled by
Tweeters curl.

I knew him long before he
ever became a Jersey girl.
And the walls came down,

all the way to hell.
Never saw them when

they're standing. Never saw
them when they fell.

Now the town of Jersey City
is quietin' down again.
I'm sittin' in a gamblin' club
called the Lions Den

The T V set was blown up,
every bit of it was gone. Ever
since the nightly news show
that the monkey man was on.

I guess I'll go to Florida,
to get myself some sun.
There aint no more
opportunity here,
everyihings been done.

Sometime I think of Tweeter.
Sometimes I think of Jan.
Sometimes I don't think about
nothin' but the monkey man.
And the walls came down,

all the way to hell.
Never saw them when
they're standing. Never saw
them when they fell.
And the walls came down,

all the way to hell.
Never saw them when

they're standing. Never saw
them when they fell.
