Lyrics

Lyrics are from the full version of モンキーマジック. The third set of lyrics don't appear in the BEMANI game cut.

Japanese

*Born from an egg on a mountain top
The punkiest monkey that ever popped
He knew every magic trick under the sun
To tease the Gods And everyone and have some fun

**Monkey magic, Monkey Magic
Monkey magic, Monkey Magic
Monkey magic, Monkey Magic
Monkey magic, Monkey Magic

What a cocky saucy monkey this one is
All the Gods were angered and they punished him
Until he was saved by a kindly priest
And that was the start Of their pilgrimage west

Monkey magic, Monkey Magic
Monkey magic, Monkey Magic
Monkey magic, Monkey Magic
Monkey magic, Monkey Magic

With a little bit of monkey magic
There'll be fireworks tonight
With a little bit of monkey magic
Every thing will be all right 

*repeat
**repeat
