Put a monkey in a suit;
watch him dance
watch him prance.
Can't you catch the beat?
His handler rewards him
the crowds adore him.
His worth made by views,
this is the life he clings to.
Put a monkey in a suit
cover his colors
to mask him from others.
This is the dressings of success.
The monotony bores,
but the stability scores
invisible chains he's cuffed to.
Whatever else shall he do?
Put a monkey in a suit
he must behave
or it’s back to the cave;
this is his one shot to be great.
Just stay in line
and it’ll all be fine.
You're not alone.
Look, see, everyone else is too.
