monkey middle with a fiddle
in a real tight ragtime band
cause a blaze of fame and forutne
heard so lound across the land
and thhose little peopoe whoe buy those records 
sit lonely in their homes with
funny faces falling into the great unknown
they got little polak-dot undies
and you know they have their fun
they got matchign ties and curtains
and they get tehir washign done
but come evevning comes afeeling
when they lay theyr burdens down 
when they put that record on
the house is jumpin with excitement '
eeveryones acting out of chraracter
but everthing goes back to normal
a hafl an hour lavter
and everyone acts like nothing happend
as that record goes back int he sleeve
thats one house guest that'll never leave
