Chords in this song5

Verse 1

I'm a flea-bit peanut monkey, all my friends are junkies
(that's not really true) 
I'm a cold Italian pizza, I could use a lemon squeezer
(like you do)  
I've been bit and I've been tossed around
by every she-cat in this town
(have you babe?)  

Chorus

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

Instrumental

    

Verse 2

I was bitten by a boar, I was gouged and I was gored
(I went along too)  
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 
(love to play the blues) 

Chorus

I am just a monkey man, glad you are a monkey woman too babe
