Lyrics[edit | edit source]
Donovan's monkey
Donovan's monkey
Rides on his back, but he isn't a lack
No trouble to conceptualize
The monkey's been tried on for size
But he doesn't fit
But he makes a hit
Very big, quite a kid
Yeah, he's Donovan's monkey, a-ha-ha
Girl and her father
Girl and her father
Never aware that he's losing his hair
Wishes she'd love him for just a day
But crime doesn't pay anyway
Scrubbing the floor
Like he did before
Very big, quite a kid, yeah
Girl and her father, on the floor
Killer Kowalski
Killer Kowalski
Mmm, jumps on his head, opponent is dead
Gorillas where the resemblance derives
Onto their faces he dives
Ripping their guts like paper huts
What a dog, not a frog
Yeah, he's a Killer Kowalski, with that claw
Yeah, he's Killer Kowalski!
