"CHARLIE"

Chorus 1
[Oooh] Yeah, Charlie's made a monkey out of you.
Just look at you, humph, what'd he do?
[Oooh] Oh, Charlie's made a monkey out of you.
Just look at you, humph, what'd he do?

Verse 1
-He got you believin' that your daddy was a monkey,
-And your mama a chimpanzee.
Now can you just imagine your great granddaddy
Climbing up a coconut tree?---

Chorus 2
[Oooh] Oh, oh, Charlie's made a monkey out of you.
Just look at you, humph, what'd he do?
[Oooh] Oh, Charlie's made a monkey out of you.
Just look at you.

[It's time for the big time]
It's unnatural, completely unnatural,
Believe it or not, it's unfactual.
It's unnatural, completely unnatural,
Believe it or not, it's unfactual. [Check it out]

Verse 2
-Charlie Darwin with his evil lies
Has pulled that funky monkey wool all over your eyes;
Now ain't it about time that you all got leery
About that evolutionary theory.

Chorus 3
[Oooh] Yeah, Charlie's made a monkey out of you.
Just look at you. -Can't you see that
[Oooh] Oh, oh, Charlie's made amonkey out of you
Just look at yooooooooooouuuuuuu........

Verse 3
Once I was a tadpole, long and thin [thin and long]
Then I was a froggy with my tail tucked in; [my tail tucked in]
Then I was a baboon in a tropical tree, [a tropical tree]
And now I'm a professor with a college degree.

Chorus 4
[Oooh] Yea, yeah, Charlie's made a monkey out of you.
Just look at you, humph, what'd he do?
[Oooh] Oh, oh, Charlie's made a monkey out of you.
Just look at you.

Jungle Break
Charlie's made a monkey, he's made of you a monkey,
Charlie's made a monkey, a monkey outta you.
[Repeat]

Rap Verse 1
Yo, Charlie,
Would you tell me, man, where did you get that stuff?
You gotta have a listen,
'Cause the facts are missin',
And we've got a problem on our hands.
From teachin' no creator, man's evolved
To where he thinks he's got the answers and the problems solved.
But look at the world, oh, wouldn't you agree
That we need the G.O.D., oh, that we need the G.O.D.

Rap Verse 2
Creation versus evolution is the name of our game.--
You say it takes faith to believe in God,
But evolution takes just the same [it takes faith].
You're basing your theories on over-dated fossils,
But with no proof, howcan all this be possible?
Take a good hard look on your side of the fence:
There ain't no evidence![there ain't no evidence]
There ain't no evidence!

Chorus 5
[Oooh] Yeah, Charlie's made a monkey out of you.
Just look at you, humph, what'd he do?
[Oooh] Oh, Charlie's made a monkey out of you.
Just look at you. Oh, yeah...

Lead Break: ------

Charlie's made a monkey, he's made of you a monkey,
Charlie's made a monkey, a monkey outta you.

Rap Verse 3
Well, we're preachin' the truth,
Me and my homies of the band.
We're not just youths, yo,
We're takin' our stand.
We're clearin' this junk,
And dumpin' this stunt;
We're here to debunk
The monkey man.

Charlie's made a monkey, he's made of you a monkey,
Charlie's made a monkey, a monkey outta you.
Charlie's made a monkey, he's made of you a monkey,
Charlie's made a monkey...
