Written by:W.R. Scaggs/C. Arrowsmith
Back in '64 I was feeling 63
回到64年 我却像活在63
The strangest sort of feeling
一种诡异的感受
Started creeping over me
逐渐将我笼罩
It's not the kind of feeling
这不是那种
You would easily forget
轻易能忘却的滋味
My head started burning
我的头脑开始发烫
And my knees began to sweat
双膝不住颤抖
I figured I was crazy
我以为自己疯了
So I went back to my chair
于是我回到座椅上
But I looked into my mirror
却见镜中空无一人
And I just wasn't there
我的身影消失无踪
Just then the window shattered
霎时窗户骤然碎裂
And a monkey hit the floor
一只猴子跌落地面
Looked like it was time for me
看来此刻我必须
To make it to the door
赶紧夺门而逃
But the monkey grabbed my coat
却被猴子拽住衣角
And took away my hat
还抢走了我的帽子
And I don't remember
而我已记不清
What happened after that
之后发生了什么
Except my friends hear the story
只知朋友们都听说
About how I left it all behind
关于我抛下一切的传闻
Seems ever since that day
似乎从那天起
I've had that monkey on my mind
那猴子便盘踞在我心头
Tried to do my best
我曾竭尽全力
And make something of my life
想要活出精彩人生
So I cut off all my relatives
于是斩断所有亲情牵绊
And then I left my wife
甚至离开了我的妻子
I've tried a hundred cures
尝试过百种解药
Anything that I could find
寻觅每一种可能
But you know life ain't easy
但背负着心魔度日
With a monkey on your mind
生活谈何容易
Every time I make my mind up
每当决心已定
I'm really gonna try
我真心想要尝试
Well that monkey starts jumping
那只猴子就开始蹦跳
And looks me in the eye
直勾勾盯着我看
Oh dig the monkey
哦 这恼人的猴子
Well something exploded
当猴子喝得烂醉
When the monkey got loaded
突然就爆发了
And we went out on the town
我们整夜狂欢
The monkey got so drunk
那猴子醉得东倒西歪
He started getting funky
开始跳起古怪舞步
It was hard to hold the poor boy down
谁都按不住这可怜家伙
He did the boogaloo the shoogaloo
他跳着布加洛舞 舒加洛舞
The Eskimo the Hindu
爱斯基摩舞 印度舞
He even made the teenage queen
连青春女王都为之倾倒
Oh the joint started leaping
整个舞池开始沸腾
Everybody was a freaking
所有人都陷入疯狂
The greatest show they'd ever seen
他们见过最精彩的表演
Then someone started screaming
突然有人开始尖叫
And I woke up from my dreaming
我从梦境中惊醒
Tried to get myself realigned
试图让自己清醒
But it's all right
但一切都没关系
And it all comes easy
当心魔萦绕时
When you got a monkey on your mind
一切都变得轻而易举
Dig the monkey
沉迷于这心魔
Oh one more time
再来一次吧
Dig the monkey
沉迷于这心魔
