Translation
Bilingual
They prosecuted some poor sucker in these United States
For teaching that man descended from the apes
They coulda settled that case without a fuss or fight
If they'd seen me chasin' you, sugar, through the jungle last night
They'da called in that jury and a one two three, said
Part man, part monkey, definitely
ย
Well, the church bell rings from the corner steeple
Man in a monkey suit swears he'll do no evil
Offers his lover's prayer but his soul lies
Dark and driftin' and unsatisfied
Well, hey bartender, tell me what do you see
Part man, part monkey, looks like to me
ย
Well, the night is dark, the moon is full
The flowers of romance exert their pull
We talk awhile, my fingers slip
I'm hard and crackling like a whip
ย
Well, did God make man in a breath of holy fire
Or did he crawl on up out of the muck and mire?
Well, the man on the street believes what the bible tells him so
But you can ask me, mister, because I know
Tell them soul suckin' preachers to come on down and see
Part man, part monkey, baby that's me
