Tell me a story, tuck me in tight to go to sleep
Sing to me so sweetly, pat my head and kiss my cheek
I’m all skinned up
No amount of monkey blood can heal my wounds
I’m skinned up
Black, bruised and blue
Swing me by my feet, hold something just out of my reach
Let’s hide and go seek, play games by Milton Bradley
I’m all skinned up
No amount of monkey blood can heal my wounds
I’m skinned up
Black, bruised and blue
Tinker toys, vacant lots
Piles of dirt, dirty socks
Running through the sprinklers on a hot summers day
Evel Knievel, GI Joe
Tell me where I’m supposed to go from here
It’s not clear
I’m all skinned up, No amount of monkey blood
Can heal my wounds
I’m skinned up
Black, bruised and blue
