[Shouted with Chinese accent] The Nature of Monkey Was Irrepressible! [Verse 1] From the egg of consciousness A stone-born rebel woke Golden fire in his eyes And thunder in his jokes One magic cloud and a staff in hand He tore through heaven's pride Stealing immortal peaches A storm they couldn't hide [Pre-Chorus] Three seals, a walk of a thousand miles He killed the demons With a face of smiles [Chorus] Monkey magic, oooh, monkey magic Monkey magic, monkey magic oooh Monkey magic, oooh, monkey magic Monkey magic, monkey magic oooh [Shouted with Chinese accent] The Nature of Monkey Was Irrepressible! [Verse 2] The monk he travelled With scrolls of gold A pig with muddy boots A river giant bold Through fire and fury Through spells that bent the air They crossed the broken world With enlightenment so fair [Pre-Chorus] Three seals, a walk of a thousand miles He killed the demons With a face of smiles [Chorus] Monkey magic, oooh, monkey magic Monkey magic, monkey magic oooh Monkey magic, oooh, monkey magic Monkey magic, monkey magic oooh [Shouted with Chinese accent] The Nature of Monkey Was Irrepressible! [Bridge] Tight crown, crushed head He learns what power means Not just the fight But guarding Buddhist dreams A single step becomes A bridge across the storm From wild to wise, from sharp to kind He changes shape, he transforms [Chorus] Monkey magic, oooh, monkey magic Monkey magic, monkey magic oooh Monkey magic, oooh, monkey magic Monkey magic, monkey magic oooh [Shouted with Chinese accent] The Nature of Monkey Was Irrepressible!
