O, Sock Monkey Man
Why do you stand
In the middle of Bourbon Street
Wearing a mask
In need of a bath
While the crowd gathers at your feet
What do you tell people at parties
When they ask you what you do
How can you possibly pay the rent
Are your parents proud of you
Do you think of yourself as an artist
Do you have some sort of a cause
'Cause I don't think you're an artist
So don't wait to hear my applause
O, Sock Monkey Man
I just can't understand
Why you want to be
Sock Monkey Man...
Sock Monkey Man...
