2. Them Kinda Monkeys
           Can't Swing
(Jim Lea; Noddy Holder)
------------------------------------------------------------
Everywhere has a wheeler and dealer
Raised in the back streets of town
Everywhere has a spieler who's a clown

Every haunt has a hustler and bustler
Born with the tongue of a snake
Every haunt has a muscler on the make

And them kind of monkeys can't swing
And them birdies can't sing
If them pigs could fly
Maybe they'd fly away from me

And them kind of monkeys can't swing
And them birdies can't sing
If them pigs could fly
Maybe they'd fly away from me

Heh

Everywhere has a ducker and diver
Doing his best to impress
Everywhere has a skiver in a mess, yay

And every place has a joker at poker
Born with a marked deck of cards
Every place has a smoker in the yards

And them kind of monkeys can't swing
And them birdies can't sing
If them pigs could fly
Maybe they'd fly away from me

And them kind of monkeys can't swing, uh, uh, uh
And them birdies can't sing
If them pigs could fly
Maybe they'd fly away from me

Yeah

Oh

Oh, them kind of monkeys can't swing
And them birdies can't sing
If them pigs could fly
Maybe they'd fly away from me

And them kind of a-monkeys can't swing
And them a-birdies can't sing
If them pigs could fly
Maybe they'd fly away from me

Oh-oh
