Jazz Gillum lyrics

Is That A Monkey You Got? blues lyrics

Now it looks like a dog and it ain't no cat
I'm just wondering what the world is that?
Is that a monkey you got? Is that a monkey you've got?
Is that some monkey you got, honey, he's the ugliest thing in town
Now he's red and he's black and his feet is brown
He's the worst looking thing that walks on the ground
Is that a monkey you got? Is that a monkey you've got?
Is that some monkey you got, honey, he's the ugliest thing in town
Now you told me about your monkey and I don't see why you did
When I come to your house you always got him hid
Is that a monkey you got? Is that a monkey you've got?
Is that some monkey you got, honey, he's the ugliest thing in town
Now you keep him hidden and in the house
You must think he'll cause trouble if you let him go out
Is that a monkey you got? Is that a monkey you've got?
Is that some monkey you got, honey, he's the ugliest thing in town
