Babak Elahi sings, speaking for all of us monkeys.

lyrics

Welcome to the monkey house
Your table’s almost set
Everything’s been taken care of
All of your friends are here

We’ll throw you fetch
We’ll toss you catch
We’ll be the cats, you be the mouse
Welcome to the monkey house

Welcome to the hall of mirrors
See what’s in the old man’s beard
Mother Hubbard’s throwing shoes
Walk a mile on another man’s blistered feet

We’ll speak you hear
Smile from ear to shining ear
Put on your pants, take off that blouse
Welcome to the monkey house

Dreamin’s easy in a lover’s touch
You get part of what you want when you don’t ask much
The rain can’t quench the advancing fire
You can’t reach where the monkey escapes on the wire

Welcome to the tunnel of love
The timeline’s all confused
You’re realizing you’re the mark
They’re throwing the shit at you

Welcome to the monkey house
Welcome to the monkey house
Welcome to the monkey house
Welcome to the monkey house
