I stand in a wide flat land
No shadow or shade of a doubt
Where the megaphone man
Met the girl with her hand that's
Covering most of her mouth
Fall in love with a bright idea
And the way a world is revealed to you
Fat man and dancing girl
And most of the show is
Concealed from view
Monkey in the middle
Keeps singing that tune
I don't want to hear it
Get rid of it soon
MC on the stage tonight
Is a man named Billy Purl
He's the international fun boy
And he knows the worth of beautiful girl
Stand on the tightrope
Never dreamed I would fall
Monkey in the middle
Keeps doing that trick
It's making me nervous
Get rid of it quick
I stand in a wide flat land
No shadow or shade of a doubt
Where the megaphone man
Met the girl with her hand that's
Covering most of her mouth
Does she tell the truth?
Does she hide the lie?
Does she say it so no one can know?
Fat man and the dancing girl
And it's all part of the show, you know
Stand on the tightrope
Never dreamed I could fall
Monkey in the middle
Keeps singing that tune
I don't want to hear it
Get rid of it soon
Monkey in the middle
Keeps doing that trick
It's making me nervous
Get rid of it quick
