David Crosby - Monkey And The Underdog Lyrics
by David Crosby, Craig DoergeWell I went out for my evenin' strollAll along the boulevardIt's familiar turf, from the hillsTo the surfI treat it like my front yardWell I right away ran intoa girl I know.She said "you gotta come withme tonight, the wordis out that the underdogand the monkey gonna finally fight."Been fightin'...fightin'fightin' just to stay aliveI've been fightin'...fightin'Fightin' to get fromFour o'clock to five.Now I'm not what you'd calla violent man.But the news brought a smileto my face.Cause the underdog is afriend of mine.I'd love to see himPut that monkey in his place.You may think I'm crazyThe odds are against the dogyou understand;This monkey is as strong asa gorilla.He'd stretch a tire likea rubber band.But I've been fightin'...fightin'fightin' just to stay aliveI've been fightin'...fightin'Fightin' to get fromFour o'clock to five.Now, he's sneakyand he'll smileRight at you, pretendto like your bootsAnd all the while,he'd be thinkingHow to rip your soulout by the roots.When we got theremy old underdog.He didn't really look too goo, noBut when his eyes met mineand he said"I'll kick his ass."and I knew right then he wouldI've been fightin'I've been fightin'Fightin' just to stay aliveI've been fightin'...fightin'Fightin' to get fromFour o'clock to five.Well now I don't wantTo bore you.With a bunch of dialogue.It's not how much dogis in the fightIt's how much fightis in the dog.And I've been fightin'...oh fightin'Fightin' just to stay aliveI've been fightin'...yeah fightin'Fightin' to get fromFour o'clock to five.I've been fightin'...oh fightin'Fightin' just to stay aliveI've been fightin'...yeah fightin'Fightin' to get fromFour o'clock to five.I've been fightin'...oh fightin'Fightin' just to stay aliveI've been fightin'...yeah fightin'Fightin' to get fromFour o'clock to five.(c) 1988 Stay Straight Music (BMI)/Fair Star Music Inc.
