Monkey Gone to Heaven

There was a guy
An under water guy who controlled the sea
Got killed by ten million pounds of sludge
From New York and New Jersey

This monkey’s gone to Heaven
This monkey’s gone to Heaven
This monkey’s gone to Heaven
This monkey’s gone to Heaven

The creature in the sky
Got sucked in a hole
Now there’s a hole in the sky
And the ground’s not cold
And if the ground’s not cold, everything is gonna burn
We’ll all take turns, I’ll get mine too

This monkey’s gone to Heaven
This monkey’s gone to Heaven
This monkey’s gone to Heaven
This monkey’s gone to Heaven

Rock me, Joe

If Man is five, If Man is five
If Man is five, then the Devil is six
Then the Devil is six, the Devil is six
The Devil is six, and if the Devil is six
Then God is seven, then God is seven
Then God is seven

This monkey’s gone to Heaven
This monkey’s gone to Heaven
This monkey’s gone to Heaven
This monkey’s gone to Heaven

This monkey’s gone to Heaven
This monkey’s gone to Heaven
This monkey’s gone to Heaven
This monkey’s gone to Heaven
This monkey’s gone to Heaven
