One Monkey Don't Stop No Show

You know I got a letter from a friend of mine

In Newcastle upon a Tyne the other day

He said to me, "Eric, I heard you've been havin'

Some trouble down in the smoke with the girls"

He said, "You wanna catch that flyin' Scotsman

Back up here to Newcastle

'Cause we've got enough females to go around up here

And I can figure you can find yourself a little somethin'"

"And because people around here

Don't go away stealin' each others loved ones

Away from one another

Like they do down there in the smoke"

He also said in the letter that, ah

Things don't happen like that here on Tyne

And I believed every word he said now

Things don't happen like that here on Tyne

One more thing he told me now

Things don't happen like that here on Tyne

He said to me, babe

Things don't happen like that here on Tyne

He said, alright, alright

So I'm sayin' to you who are listenin'

If you've been unlucky in love

And you've lost somebody love

And you hear a voice that comes to you

In the middle of the night and says

It says I want you to get on up

Listen to me, I want you to get on up

And find yourself another one

If you're havin' breakfast one morning

And out from behind the teapot a little voice says

Listen, hey, I want you to get on up now

If you're out in the mornin' on your job

And a voice come to you on your job and says

Get up, get up

And you know it's not the foreman

It's a little voice that says

You wanna get up and walk .., women

Go on and find yourself somebody

That's what you'd better do

Because I'll tell you one thing

There's one thing I found out

One thing I found out

Took me a long time to find it out

Yeah, it took me a long time to find out

But I think I got it now, oh, yeah

One monkey don't stop no show

Yes, it's true, baby

One monkey don't stop no show

Don't let one monkey stop up your show

One monkey don't stop no show

One monkey don't stop no show
