Make a monkey out, make a monkey out,
Don't make a monkey of me.
Make a monkey out, make a monkey out,
Don't make a monkey of me.
Make a monkey out, make a monkey out,
Don't make a monkey of me.
Make a monkey out, make a monkey out,
Don't make a monkey of me.

Narippanashi no denwa wo yoso ni noizu darake no Radio
Kousaten de wa ima tachi_oujou habamarete no toujou

Make a monkey out, make a monkey out,
Don't make a monkey of me.
Make a monkey out, make a monkey out,
Don't make a monkey of me.

Doko made tsuzuku? Kono kaidan to kakato no toreta buutsu
Yagate sora ni wa hikari ga sashite boku no kokoro tokashite

*Kimi to no conversation. Good communication.
Torete 'ru hazu darou I stand by you.
Furikaerazu tsukinukete _ikeba ii n' da
Don't make a monkey of me.
Tobitateba miete kuru sonna mon' na n' da
Kodou agete sakebe!

Saa nansei no kaze wo uke (Don't make a monkey out of me.)
Aimai nante hatsutete (Don't make a monkey out of me.)
Passion, session, good condition. (Don't make a monkey out of me.)
Say YEAH! (YEAH!)
Say HO! (HO!)
Don't make a monkey out of me.

*Chorus

Jibun wo shinjite nukete _ikeba ii n' da
Taiyou no __ku atsuku
Toki tateba iete kuru sonna mon' na n' da
Kodou agete sakebe!

Make a monkey out, make a monkey out,
Don't make a monkey of me.
Make a monkey out, make a monkey out,
Don't make a monkey of me.
Make a monkey out, make a monkey out,
Don't make a monkey of me.

Make a monkey out, make a monkey out,
Don't make a monkey of me.

Este es el verdadero y mejor opening de Rockman X5/MegaMan X5, tiene toda la fuerza y vibra que debe tener el que en ese entonces era considerado como "el último capítulo de la saga X". No demerito la versión americana, pero incluso la animación fue hecha para este intro (o viceversa si se le quiere ver así).
