(improv all notes with a `; this is just one possible idea)

Verse 1:
 A7A7          D7D7
I woke to the noise of monkey's knuckles
     A7A7        D7D7
Knocking loud on my door.
       A7A7
He screamed, "Man, let me in
    D7D7
Or I'll kick your hallway ash tray
  A7A7        D7D7
All over the floor!"
         A7A7
Well, there were wrinkles in his voice,
D7D7
Wrinkles in his suit,
   A7A7         D7D7
He'd partied all night before.
  A7A7          D7D7 EsusEsus
The monkey looked tired,
  A7A7   D7D7
So tired.

Verse 2:
He came from my door
He shed on my floor,
He jumped up on the back of my chair.
He said, "Lately, it seems,
I've been having these dreams
Of laughin' in African air.
It' could be a deja vu,
Cognition coming true,
I'm living my life more aware."
Monkey looked tired,
So, so tired.

(Solo)

Verse 3:
Let me swing back to the jungle
I'll grab on the clouds as I go
Over waves of the water,
Over partying whales,
Landing softly, on the shoreline below.

(Solo over a more mellow groove)

Verse 4:
Gotta get back to the jungle
There are a lot of little animals there.
The fish and plants breathe in clear water.
The bugs and birds rest on damp air.
I'm going down, I'm going down.
Sleepy monkey,
Oh, sleepy monkey.
