Bruce Springsteen - Part Man, Part Monkey lyrics

Your rating:
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 chasing you, sugar, through the jungle last night
They'da called in that jury and a one two three, said
Part man, part monkey, definitely

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 drifting and unsatisfied
Well hey bartender tell me what do you see
Part man, part monkey, looks like to me

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

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 sucking preachers to come on down and see
Part man, part monkey, baby that's me
