Song information
Artist: Jethro Tull Album: Crest Of A Knave
Lyrics
As the moon slips up, and the sun sets down I'm a highrise jockey, and I'm heaven-bound Do the workboot shuffle, loose brains from brawn I'm a monkey puzzle and the lid is on
Can you guess my name? can you guess my trade? I'm going to catch you anyway You might be right. I'll give you guesses three Feel me climbing up your knee
Guess what I am. I'm a steel monkey
Now some men hustle and some just think And some go running before you blink Some look up and some look down From three hundred feet above the ground
Can you guess my name? and can you guess my trade? Well, I won't rest before the world is made Arm in arm the angels fly Keep me from falling out the sky
Steel monkey
I work in the thunder and I work in the rain I work at my drinking, and I feel no pain I work on women, if they want me to You can have me climb all over you
Now, have you guessed my name? And have you guessed my trade? I'm cheap at the money I get paid In the sulphur city, where men are men We bolt those beams then climb again
Steel monkey
