You know what Simon Says He tells you what to do What if he told you to Take off all your clothes And dance in your birthday suit Sure it's the latest craze We all get influenced The little secret they don't Want you to know no no We're only human Seperated by our thoughts So hang on to them Or you'll find you might get caught Caught up in the Hey Monkey See and Monkey Do Must I get brainwashed By what's surrounding you Didn't you know that Every little thing's contagious Oh yes every little thing's contagious It's when you watch TV In everything you see The virus seeping through And you start to want What they tell you you should want It's in the air you breathe It's hidden up their sleeves They're even marketing What I say right now Watch out! We're only human Seperated by our thoughts So hang on to them Or you'll find you might get caught Caught up in the Hey Monkey See and Monkey Do Must I get brainwashed By what's surrounding you Didn't you know that Every little thing's contagious Oh yes every little thing's contagious Na na na na na na na We're only human separated Na na na na na na na We're only human separated Only human separated Caught up in the Hey Monkey See and Monkey Do Must I get brainwashed By what's surrounding you Didn't you know that Every little thing's contagious Oh yes every little thing's contagious Hey Monkey See and Monkey Do Must I get brainwashed By what's surrounding you Didn't you know that Every little thing's contagious Oh yes every little thing's contagious
