F                       C 
I got my start on the street 
                        G 
With the monkey next to me he'll 
               Am 
Shake your hand for a dollar, 

If you're nice kiss your cheek 
F           C 
To my left I can see 
                  G                               Am

Strolling on the scene

Oh I'm home, I'm right where I belong 
F                          C                 G

And the men are confused, slightly aroused 
F                  C               
Muslims, Christians preaching, wishing

I would shut up so the people could listen 
F                C
