They prosecuted some poor sucker in these United States 

For teachin' that man descended from the apes 
            Fm 
They coulda settled that case without a fuss or fight 
                  Cm 
If they'd seen me chasin' you, sugar, through the jungle last night 
       G7 
They'd called in that jury and-a one, two, three, said, 
      Cm 
"Part man, part monkey, definitely"

Man in a monkey suit, swears he'll do no evil

Offers his lover's prayer, but his soul lies

    G7 
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 
         Fm 
Well the man on the street believes what the bible tells him so 
            Cm 
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
