C7                                            F
You know I got a letter from a friend of mine
                                      C7
In Newcastle-Upon-a'Tyne the other day
                                         F
He said to me "Eric I heard you've been havin'
                                              C7
some trouble down in the smoke with the girls"
    F
He said "You wanna catch that flyin'
                                 C7
Scotsman back up here to Newcastle
              F                                     C7
'Cause we've got enough females to go around up here
                                                 F
And I can figure you can find yourself a little somethin'
       C7
And because people around here don't go away
                                F
stealin' each others loved ones away from one another
          G7                         C7
Like they do down there in the smoke"
                                 F
He also said in the letter that, ah

C7                             F
Things don't happen like that here on Tyne
F
And I believed every word he said, now
C7                             F
Things don't happen like that here on Tyne
F
One more thing he told me now
C7                             F
Things don't happen like that here on Tyne
F7
He said to me babe
C7                             F
Things don't happen like that here on Tyne
                             C
He said, all right, all right

C7               F
So I'm sayin' to you who are listen'
C7                            F
If you've been unlucky in love
F                             C7
And you've lost somebody love
                F
And you hear a voice that comes to you
F                                   C7
in the middle of the night and says
                                F
It says I want you to get on up
F
Listen to me
C7                                                    F
I want you to get on up and find yourself another one
        C7
If your havin' breakfast one morning
F                                                  C7
and out from behind the teapot a little voice says
       F                              C7
Listen, Hey! I want you to get on up now
                           F
If your out in the mornin' on your job
                                         C7
And a voice come to you on your job and says
       F
Get up! Get Up!
                         C7
And you know its not the foreman
                         F
Its a little voice that says
                                   C7
You wanna get up and walk like any women
                    F
Go on and find yourself somebody
C7                         F
That's what you'd better do
                               C7
Because I'll tell you one thing
                             F
There's one thing I found out
C7                    F
One thing I found out
                       C7
Took me a long time to find it out
F                              C7
Yeah it took me a long time to find out
F                        C7
But I think I got it now
   F
Oh yeah..

C7                 F
One monkey don't stop no show
F
Yes, its true baby
C7                 F
One monkey don't stop no show
F
Don't let one monkey stop up your show
C7                 F
One monkey don't stop no show
C7                 F
One monkey don't stop no show
C7                 F
One monkey don't stop no show
C7                 F
One monkey don't stop no show
