• Singer: Damon D'Oliveira

Kick back and have a zone-out
Copacetic glide by, leavin' you with no doubt
No need to wig, ya dig?
It's a hardcore, full-tilt chiller boogie

Do that monkey like that monkey do you
Listen to Funky 'cause the words rings true
If you wanna get a monkey off-a your back
Let him save your life and you'll be even, it's as simple as that

Rip curl, pipe line, max in the slam
Be cool, bro, it's a radical jam
Run it up an air pole, chill with ease
Make ya wanna pound surf in ten degrees

Do that monkey like that monkey do you
Oh, listen to Funky 'cause the words rings true
(Scatting)
If you wanna get a monkey off-a your back
Let him save your life and you'll be even, it's as simple as that
(Scatting)
Let him save your life and you'll be even, it's as simple as that

French lyrics

Translation

Écoute bien ce que je vais te dire Ouvre tes oreilles, je crois que j'ai une idée Faut pas t'en faire, pigé ? Tout ça sera bientôt un mauvais souvenir Gratte le gorille là où ça te démange Écoute ce que je dis, même si ça te semble étrange Si tu veux que ce crétin te lâche les baskets Laisse-le te sauver la vie puisque c'est vraiment ce qu'il souhaite Prends la vague et fais attention Sur ta planche, t'es le roi de la glisse T'as la classe d'un véritable champion Laisse donc croire à Bluster que t'es un novice Gratte le gorille là où ça te démange Oublie tout ce que je dis, même si ça te semble étrange Rah-bala-bala-bala-bala-sik-pah Si tu veux que ce crétin te lâche les baskets Laisse-le te sauver la vie puisque c'est vraiment tout ce qu'il souhaite Hey hey, hey hey, hey hey Laisse-le te sauver la vie puisque c'est vraiment tout ce qu'il souhaite

Listen closely to what I say Open your ears, I think I have an idea Don't worry, okay? All this will soon be a bad memory Scratch the gorilla where it itches Listen to what I say, even if it seems strange to you If you want that idiot to get off of your back Let him save your life since that's really what he wants Ride the wave and be careful On your board, you're the king of surfing You've got the class of a true champion Let Bluster believe you're a novice Scratch the gorilla where it itches Forget everything I say, even if it seems strange to you Rah-bala-bala-bala-bala-sik-pah If you want that idiot to get off of your back Let him save your life, since that's really all he wants Hey hey, hey hey, hey hey Let him save your life, since that's really all he wants
