(chorus) Brass Monkey - that funky Monkey 
Brass Monkey - junkie 
That funky Monkey 

Got this dance that's more than real 
Drink Brass Monkey - here's how you feel 
Put your left leg down - your right leg up 
Tilt your head back - let's finish the cup 
M.C.A. with the bottle - D. rocks the can 
Adrock gets nice with Charlie Chan 
We're offered Moet - we don't mind Chivas 
Wherever we go with bring the Monkey with us 
Adrock drinks three - Mike D. is D. 
Double R. foots the bill most definitely 
I drink Brass Monkey and I rock well 
I got a Castle in Brooklyn - that's where I dwell 

(repeat chorus) 

Cause I drink it anytime - and anyplace 
When it's time to get ill - I pour it on my face 
Monkey tastes Def when you pour it on ice 
Come on y'all it's time to get nice 
Coolin' by the lockers getting kind of funky 
Me and the crew - we're drinking Brass Monkey 
This girl walked by - she gave me the eye 
I reached in the locker - grabbed the Spanish Fly 
I put it with the Monkey - mixed it in the cup 
Went over to the girl, "Yo baby, what's up?" 
I offered her a sip - the girl she gave me lip 
It did begin the stuff wore in and now she's on my tip 

(repeat chorus) 

Step up to the bar - put the girl down 
She takes a big gulp and slaps it around 
Take a sip - you can do it - you get right to it 
We had a case in the place and we went right through it 
You got a dry Martini - thinking you're cool 
I'll take your place at the bar - I smack you off your stool 
I'll down a '40 dog" in a single gulp 
And if you got beef you'll get beat to a pulp 
Monkey and parties and reelin' and rockin' 
Def, def - girls, girls - all y'all jockin' 
The song and dance keeping you in a trance 
If you don't buy my record I got my advance 
I drink it - I think it - I see it - I be it 
I love Brass Monkey but I won't give D. it 
We got the bottle - you got the cup 
Come on everybody let's get ffffff 

(repeat chorus)
