Monkey Gone to Heaven Lyrics

[00:03.60] There was a guy
[00:06.33]
[00:11.79] An underwater guy who controlled the sea
[00:16.80]
[00:19.76] Got killed by ten million pounds of sludge from New York and New Jersey
[00:25.78] This monkey's gone to heaven
[00:29.77] This monkey's gone to heaven
[00:33.92] This monkey's gone to heaven
[00:38.02] This monkey's gone to heaven
[00:43.35]
[00:53.27] The creature in the sky
[00:56.96] Got sucked in a hole, now there's a hole in the sky
[01:04.95] And the ground's not cold
[01:06.96] And if the ground's not cold, everything is gonna burn
[01:11.51] We'll all take turns
[01:13.47] I'll get mine too
[01:15.18] This monkey's gone to heaven
[01:19.26] This monkey's gone to heaven
[01:23.35] This monkey's gone to heaven
[01:27.53] This monkey's gone to heaven
[01:31.14] Rock me, Joe
[01:34.32]
[01:50.50] If man is five
[01:52.48] If man is five
[01:54.34] If man is five
[01:56.69] Then the devil is six
[01:58.53] Then the devil is six
[02:00.58] Then the devil is six
[02:02.91] Then the devil is six
[02:04.76] And if the devil is six
[02:06.65] Then God is seven
[02:08.76] Then God is seven
[02:10.72] Then God is seven
[02:12.85] This monkey's gone to heaven
[02:16.94] This monkey's gone to heaven
[02:21.22] This monkey's gone to heaven
[02:25.15] This monkey's gone to heaven
[02:29.40] This monkey's gone to heaven
[02:33.50] This monkey's gone to heaven
[02:37.61] This monkey's gone to heaven
[02:41.62] This monkey's gone to heaven
[02:45.83] This monkey's gone to heaven
[02:50.33]
