red hot chili peppers - funky monks (live) lyrics

[spoken: anthony kiedis & flea]
hey, flea – yeah?
i noticed that there’s a kid in the front row, he got a korn shirt on
is he the winner of the contest?
no, no, he’s not the winner of the contest
but there is indeed a contest winner
some sort of a crazy radio contest
they win, they get to choose a song, you’ve heard about this
so they chose a song
that we really barely know how to play
because, have we ever played this song livе, ever?
i beliеve that we played this show once live ever in like 1991
and so we never ever play it and we didn’t rehe+rs+ it
but we’re playin’ it for you tonight
because some guy requested it, and—
yeah, this, this is the radio contest winner’s request
it’s called ‘funky monks’
it kinda— woah, hey+oh!
it kinda keeps us on our toes, because
we+we don’t really know how to play it
but we’re gonna give it our best shot

[verse 1: anthony kiedis & john frusciante]
there are no monks in my band (there are no monks in my band)
there are no saints in this land (there are no saints in this land)
i be doin’ all i can, yeah, yeah
live, i’ll die an honest man (live, i’ll die an honest man)
confusion is my middle name (confusion is my middle name)
ask me again, i’ll tell ya the same (ask me again, i’ll tell ya the same)
persuaded by one s+xy dame, yeah, yeah
yes, i do not feel no shame
here we go
[chorus: anthony kiedis & john frusciante]
you are all alone
can i get a little lovin’ from you?
can i get a little bit of that done, did, do?
you are on the road
tell me now, girl, that you need me too
tell me now, girl, ’cause i got a feeling for you

[verse 2: anthony kiedis & john frusciante]
every man has certain needs (every man has certain needs)
talkin’ ’bout them dirty deeds (talkin’ ’bout them dirty deeds)
to these needs i must concede, yeah, yeah
livin’ by my lowly creed (livin’ by my lowly creed)
woman, please know that i’m good (woman, please know that i’m good)
know that i did all i could (know that i did all i could)
but, yes, it’s true, the likelihood, yeah, yeah
of being great is not so good

[chorus: anthony kiedis & john frusciante]
you are all alone
can i get a little lovin’ from you?
can i get a little bit of that done, did, do?
you are on the road
tell me now, girl, that you need me too
tell me now, girl, ’cause i got a feeling for you
[guitar solo]

[verse 3: anthony kiedis & john frusciante]
virtue slipped into my shoe (virtue slipped into my shoe)
and no, i will not misconstrue (no, i will not misconstrue)
more rockin’, more rockin’, now doobley+do, yeah, yeah
livin’ down your avenue

[interlude: anthony kiedis]
now, let’s walk out

[instrumental outro]

[spoken: anthony kiedis]
god bless the kid, wherever she is, wherever he is
that was a good choice, it was a b+llsy choice, i must say
