Lyrics
ME & MY MONKEY (REAGAN)
(Yeah!)
Gonna make this nation great
Gonna make the people hate
There’s an evil empire
It’s gotta be destroyed
Before the next election
Make the people paranoid
Here we go again
Who are you calling insane
Me and my monkey
We’re gonna save the world again
Me and my monkey
We’re gonna get the girl again
Maggie I love you so
Together we can rule the world
We can ride a horse
Sing a song together
Maybe play at God
Even change the weather
Here we go again
Who are you calling insane
Me and my monkey
We’re gonna save the world again
Me and my monkey
We’re gonna get the girl again
(Let’s hear it for the Gipper!)
Here we go again
Who are you calling insane
Me and my monkey
We’re gonna save the world again
Me and my monkey
We’re gonna get the girl again
Gonna make a creed of greed
Gonna sow my bastard seed
You can meet J.R.
You can make Sue Ellen
You can live me
In capitalistic heaven
Here we go again
Who are you calling insane
Me and my monkey
We’re gonna save the world again
Me and my monkey
We’re gonna get the girl again
Now I’m riding into the sun
Let me introduce my son
Say hello to George
He’s a good ole boy
(Yee ha!)
Gonna give him nukes
And all my other toys
Here we go again
Who are you calling insane
Me and my monkey
We’re gonna save the world again
Me and my monkey
We’re gonna get the girl again
Bedtime for Bonzo!
