They’re driving long nails into coffins You’ve been having sleepless nights You’ve gone as quiet as a church mouse And checking on your rights The boss has hung you out to dry And it looks as though Punish the monkey And let the organ grinder go You’ve been talking to a lawyer Are you gonna pretend That you and your employer Are still the best of friends Somebody’s gonna take the fall There's your quid pro quo Punish the monkey Punish the monkey, yeah Punish the monkey And let the organ grinder go Here comes a police man He won’t be side-tracked He’s asking ‘bout a smoking gun He’s after the bad It’s a quiet life from here on in You dropped your poisoned cup The telephone is ringing But you’re not pickin up Times I've said Lord flunky And everybody knows Punish the monkey Punish the monkey, yeah Punish the monkey And let the organ grinder go Ooh, Punish the monkey Punish the monkey, yeah Punish the monkey And let the organ grinder go Hmmm... Punish the monkey Punish the monkey Punish the monkey Punish the monkey
