Monkey Man
The Rolling Stones Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm a fleabit peanut monkey
And all my friends are junkies
That's not really true

I'm a cold Italian pizza
I could use a lemon squeezer
What you do?

But I've been bit and I've been tossed around
By every she-rat in this town
Have you babe?

But I am just a monkey man
I'm glad you are a monkey woman too

I was bitten by a boar
I was gouged and I was gored
But I pulled on through

Yeah, I'm a sack of broken eggs
I always have an unmade bed
Don't you?

Well I hope we're not too messianic
Or a trifle too satanic
But we love to play the blues

But well I am just a monkey man
I'm glad you are a monkey woman too
Monkey woman too babe

I'm a monkey man
I'm a monkey man
I'm a monkey man
I'm a monkey man
I'm a monkey
I'm a monkey
I'm a monkey
I'm a monkey
Monkey, monkey

Overall Meaning

The Rolling Stones's song "Monkey Man" is a playful and paradoxical song that serves as a reminder of the irrationality, and in some cases absurdity of life. The song deals with the irony of life itself and its many twists and turns. The lyrics are almost aimless, with phrases such as "I'm a fleabit peanut monkey" and "I'm a cold Italian pizza" that don't make much sense on their own. However, the lyrics point to a larger idea that life is unpredictable and often makes no sense at all.

The song references the mocking and marginalization of the singer by others, as he explains that he has been "tossed around by every she-rat in this town." This line references the constant and unnecessary emotional harm that some people endure in the world. However, he ultimately finds solace in the fact that "I'm glad you are a monkey woman too," suggesting that he has found someone who understands his experiences or is similarly marginalized. The final repetition of the word "monkey" underscores this idea of irreverence and playfulness in life.

Line by Line Meaning

I'm a fleabit peanut monkey
I see myself as a small and insignificant creature, like a monkey with fleas and peanuts, vulnerable and overlooked in the world.

And all my friends are junkies
The people I associate with are addicted to drugs and have no direction in life.

That's not really true
This is just a guise to express my dissatisfaction with life and society.

I'm a cold Italian pizza
I am unfeeling and distant, like a frozen pizza with Italian ingredients.

I could use a lemon squeezer
I feel like something is missing in my life, like a lemon squeezer to complete the pizza.

What you do?
What do you think of my situation and my feelings?

But I've been bit and I've been tossed around
I have been hurt and mistreated by women.

By every she-rat in this town
These women are like rats, untrustworthy and deceitful.

Have you babe?
Have you experienced the same kind of mistreatment in your life?

But I am just a monkey man
At the end of the day, I am just an average guy trying to make sense of my experiences.

I'm glad you are a monkey woman too
I am relieved to know that there are other people out there who share my experiences and feelings.

I was bitten by a boar
I have faced danger and peril in my life.

I was gouged and I was gored
I have been deeply wounded and scarred by those experiences.

But I pulled on through
Despite those hardships, I have persevered and carried on.

Yeah, I'm a sack of broken eggs
I am like a fragile and broken sack of eggs, unstable and easily broken.

I always have an unmade bed
I am a messy and disorganized person, with no real sense of direction.

Don't you?
Do you find that relatable at all?

Well I hope we're not too messianic
I hope we don't take ourselves too seriously or come across as overly confident.

Or a trifle too satanic
Or too dark and edgy.

But we love to play the blues
We enjoy expressing our feelings through the blues.

But well I am just a monkey man
Once again, I am just an average guy trying to make sense of the world.

I'm glad you are a monkey woman too babe
I am happy that I have someone to share my experiences and feelings with.

I'm a monkey man
I am an imperfect and flawed human being.

Monkey, monkey
A reminder of my insignificance in the world.

Monkey
I am a monkey.

Yes, Charlie's drumming holds the whole track together. I grew up with the Stones, Beatles, Who etc and and still enjoy music from this era immensely.
I consider myself to be very fortunate.

@peterbartolomeo5542

The Beatles and Who were lame compared to this band. Even without Mick Taylor they still amaze me with the entire Stones magical Aurora of just the best showmanship the greatest junkies in Rock history that seems immortal. Keith and Ronnie aren't great musicians they are good. Very good. They bring out Clapton and Buddy Guy when their concerts need that Mick Taylor magic. The Who were great but never did it for me..the Beatles ..aside from the White Album were so popcorn lame ... Can't stand hearing them. Although a few songs were iconic. Hey Jude Let it be Something ...but most early stuff SUCKED!!!!! THEN LED ZEPPELIN SHOWED UP AND ENDED EVERYONES PARTY

An incredible track. Charlie’s funkiest drumming, Keef’s nastiest licks. Jagger never sounded more like a serpent, menacing and charming; lyrics both articulate and nasty. An arrangement that goes from haunting to raunchy to anthemic and back to raunch-n-roll at its finest. Sublime.

When I heard earlier today of Charlie's untimely passing, I have to play this song in memory of him. He had done masterful work during his long tenure with the group, but undoubtedly this classic track was his finest accomplishment for all time. He may not rank with the likes of Keith Moon and the legendary John Bonham (may they RIP) yet Watts had proven righteously as a skillful and gifted percussionist throughout the fabulous decade of the 60s into the 80s' Rock and Roll. Thanks for all your musical contributions with the Rolling Stones, Charlie. As an avid fan of vintage rock, you will be dearly missed.

Here here Miss lsabel, you are so right with your comment. Never got to see The Stoling Rones. But with the passing of Brian Jones, then the addition of Mick Taylor, it's the favo-rite era of their music catalog in my opinion.
As you can see, l'm not much into acronyms, l reckon it's because l'm an ol" fart.
Appreciate your tipping of the hat to "Moonie" & "Bonzo",we can't take away from Mr. Charlie though. He really held it down for The Stones throughout all those years.
I really dug the '60s & '70s, never a time better to be alive and experience truly great music and easy living.
Sorry to be long-winded, take care and GOD bless. Farewell from Southeast Texas.

Years ago, after i got out of the Marines, me,my girlfriend Laura, and another girl Theresa all dropped acid. Suddenly, middle of the night, tripping balls, Theresa said she had to go home. Curfew. I didnt know she wasnt 18, nor did i know of the curfew. So we all smoked a joint, jumped in my Volkswagon Jetta, and started a 45 minute roadtrip across Chicago. Once on the tollway, the street lights made it seem like we were in a bright tunnel. My girlfriend said, i have no idea how you can drive right now? That made me nervous, so i turned on some tunes, and Monkey Man came on. This intro sounded so cool, and i was relaxed, driving down this trippy tunnel, and it was awesome! Now, whenever i hear this,it brings back some fun memories!

Lots of deserved accolades for Keith's riffing, but I have long thought that Charlie is a star here as well. Beautiful drumming on beautifully tuned and mixed Gretsch drums. Midnight Rambler, You Got the Silver, Monkey Man, just magnificent musicianship and production. But the sound of those drums grabs me every time. A masterpiece of an album.

The perfection strike from Beggars Banquet to Exile on Main St. is the highest quality rock n roll music has ever achieved.

Been a fiend 4 da stones since the dinosaurs. I love too many of their songs to have a favorite. They all make me a street fighting man walking thru the park after dark . Gotta be a stronger word than love to express my appreciation for their soul snatching ability. Rock on Rolling Stones....

Everyone say the Beatles are this and that, but I think the Rolling Stones are really the greatest rock n roll band in the history of rock and roll. I dont see how it can be denied

My favorite Stones song and I think one Keef's best riffs. It didn't get overplayed on the radio but had its fair share of exposure. Awesome video here too!

I was born in 1958 and have been listening to this music all my life. It's part of who I am. Do you give a shit? Well probably not but my intention isn't to make you care it's to simply declare my love for a sound that is in my musical DNA. That is magical to me, and carries with it a thousand memories across 6 decades.
