Lyrics
They Can't Make A Monkey Out Of Me
Science always told us that the big bang was the key
to the understanding of this world and all that we now see
then came the slime that formed us when it crawled out of the see
and finally evolved in time to what is you and me
They say there's no creator or a being so supreame
that could have had the power to create the world we see
but I can't belive this came about with just some distant bang
or that all of my ancestors were once orangatangs
Chorus
They can't make a monkey out of me
No they can't make a monkey out of me
No knuckle dragging furball dwells within my family tree
no they can't make a monkey out of me
if they are right ,then tell me, what happened to my need
for sucking on bannas or for swinging thru the trees
what happened to my tail (and) why's my body almost bare
why don't I sit for hours picking bugs from my wife's hair
I have come to see things in a very different way
maybe this all came about in just 7 days
no matter how hard they may try to prove thier reality
there is no way on this green earth to make a monkey out of me
