You wanna get rich you got to get out and dig

You want long hair go buy yourself a wig

Please believe me, gonna tell it to you slow

It's a real true sayin', "One monkey won't stop no show".



You can live in the country

You can come to town

What goes up

Is bound to come down

Please believe me, gonna tell it to you slow

Well pick up on what I'm sayin', "One monkey won't stop no show".



You can travel by bus

You can come by train

Travel by thumb

But you will get there just the same

Please believe me, gonna tell it to you slow

Yeah, dig what I'm sayin', "One monkey won't stop no show".



You don't have to be rich

Now to have plenty friends

Keep some cash on hand

If you pay off in the end

Please believe me, gonna tell it to you slow

Pick up on what I'm sayin', "One monkey won't stop no show".
