lyrics

VERSE 1

It was Thursday quite some time ago
If I do remember clear
I was riding on a great grey horse
With a man his name Revere

And we disembarked
At a gathering of nuns
I said my name was Jesus
And addressed them one by one

The head mother spoke up clearly
Better leave my girls alone
You’re getting much too old for this
And you’re wanted on the phone

The only one who would phone me here
Would be my dear friend Paul
So I smoked another cigarette
And decided to take the call

This is what I said to him…

CHORUS

I’m the one
But I ain’t no prophecy
Seventh son
I can do anything

I’m the supernatural
Monkey child
I’m the supernatural
Monkey

VERSE 2

When I reached the phone
I got a great big shock
It was Einstein on the line my man
He was dumber than a rock

He wanted to know
If I would meet him for a drink
Said he had a great big problem
Wanted me to help him think

When I reached the bar
He sat astride a little golden calf
Said I rode it downtown man
Just to get a laugh

He led me straight inside
I sat beside an ancient queen
She said "You can call me Jed"
"I've seen you in my dreams"

This what I said to her I said...

CHORUS

I’m the one
But I ain’t no prophecy
Seventh son
I can do anything

I’m the Supernatural
Monkey Child
I’m the Supernatural
Monkey

VERSE 3

Batman stood behind me
He was dressed in a flowing cape
With a fairy angel child
Who kept on shouting rape

And Einstein popped the question
Right there at the bar
How can I take these good things
and put them in a jar?

This what I said...

CHORUS

I’m the one
But I ain’t no prophecy
Seventh son
I can do anything

I’m the Supernatural
Monkey Child
I’m the Supernatural
Monkey Child
I'm the Supernatural
Monkey Child
I'm the Supernatural
Monkey

I'm a Monkey Child
