Music composed by Kevin Goldsborough and Dean Frederick
Lyrics by Dean Frederick

lyrics

Every day I go walking round and round in a monkey suit
Every hour I'm in touch with all of my superiors
I don't have to pay for my company car stereo
I got a smile that says I like it and a wink that says "I know"

But you can have it, ooo-ooo-ooo
You can have it, ooo-ooo-ooo
You can have it, ooo-ooo-ooo

My girlfriend gives me a good time, seems I just can't get out of her bed
Once in a while I get hungry, then I go back to my wife instead
I don't have to sit waiting at the back of a doctor's queue
Whenever I want to get healthy he does whatever I tell him to

You can have it, ooo-ooo-ooo
You can have it, ooo-ooo-ooo
You can have it, ooo-ooo-ooo

Cry baby, cry, then dry your eyes
Don't let what you want pass you by
Weep, baby, weep, then go back to sleep
Don't jump in the water if this is too deep

You can have it, ooo-ooo-ooo
You can have it, ooo-ooo-ooo
You can have it, ooo-ooo-ooo

Every night I go drinking, I'm the funniest man I know
When it comes to quick thinking I should have my own TV show
And everyone I know likes me, 'cause I'm kind of a generous man
I think I should be a general in the pay of the Pentagon

You can have it, ooo-ooo-ooo
You can have it, ooo-ooo-ooo
You can have it, ooo-ooo-ooo

Cry baby, cry, then dry your eye
Don't let what you want pass you by
Weep, baby, weep, then go back to sleep
Don't jump in the water if this is too deep

ooo-ooo-ooo, you can have it, ooo-ooo-ooo
ooo-ooo-ooo, you can have it, ooo-ooo-ooo
ooo-ooo-ooo, you can have it, ooo-ooo-ooo
ooo-ooo-ooo, you can have it, ooo-ooo-ooo
