One Monkey Can Stop a Show - Bobby Rush/Emmett Ellis Jr.

Composed by：Emmett Ellis Jr.

I was laying down one night

I was listening to the radio

This song came on talking about

One monkey don't stop no show

When I heard this song y'all it sound like me

One woman won't do say he gotta have 3

One woman to pick him up

One woman lay him down

One woman to fix his food

When the other two not around

Be careful man of the one that cooks dinner for you

Because it ain't no telling

What she might do to you

She fix your breakfast

One morning she will bring it to your bed

If you feeding to your dog

You dog will fall dead

Here is one that I want you to know

One monkey can stop a show

One monkey can stop a show

I don't won't you to be like my friend Paul

Up in Rockland Maine

A woman cough him cheating

And she cut off his ding a ling

Now when he go to the bathroom

He have to sit down and pee

It hurt so bad when he go all he can say is

Woo wee

That's what you get dog

When you spread yourself too thin

You get caught up on the loosing end

There's one thing that I wanna tell you boy

Before I go

One monkey can stop a show

One monkey can stop a show

Oh the monkey train keeps rolling

But he train can be stopped

One woman can get jealous

And knock you off your block

Too many iron in the fire

You gonna get burnt

Too many cooks in the kitchen

What a lesson you learned

Too much water in a glass

It will over flow

And three into one just won't go

Here one thing I want you to know

One monkey can stop a show

One monkey can stop a show

One monkey can stop a show

One monkey can stop a show

She take a little goober dust and sprinkle it around you bed

Wake up the next morning find your own self dead

That's why I said one monkey can stop a show

One monkey can stop a show

One monkey can
