One Monkey Don't Stop No Show

You know I got a letter from a friend of mine
In Newcastle upon a Tyne the other day
He said to me, "Eric, I heard you've been havin'
Some trouble down in the smoke with the girls"He said, "You wanna catch that flyin' Scotsman
Back up here to Newcastle
'Cause we've got enough females to go around up here
And I can figure you can find yourself a little somethin'""And because people around here
Don't go away stealin' each others loved ones
Away from one another
Like they do down there in the smoke"He also said in the letter that, ah
Things don't happen like that here on Tyne
And I believed every word he said now
Things don't happen like that here on TyneOne more thing he told me now
Things don't happen like that here on Tyne
He said to me, babe
Things don't happen like that here on TyneHe said, alright, alright
So I'm sayin' to you who are listenin'
If you've been unlucky in love
And you've lost somebody loveAnd you hear a voice that comes to you
In the middle of the night and says
It says I want you to get on up
Listen to me, I want you to get on up
And find yourself another oneIf you're havin' breakfast one morning
And out from behind the teapot a little voice says
Listen, hey, I want you to get on up now
If you're out in the mornin' on your jobAnd a voice come to you on your job and says
Get up, get up
And you know it's not the foreman
It's a little voice that saysYou wanna get up and walk [unverified], women
Go on and find yourself somebody
That's what you'd better doBecause I'll tell you one thing
There's one thing I found out
One thing I found out
Took me a long time to find it outYeah, it took me a long time to find out
But I think I got it now, oh, yeah
