Got this dance that's more than real

Drink Brass Monkey, here's how you feel

You put your left leg down, your right leg up

Tilt your head back, let's finish the cup

MCA with the bottle, D rocks the can

Ad-Rock gets nice with Charlie Chan

We're offered Moët, we don't mind Chivas

Wherever we go, we bring the Monkey with us

Ad-Rock drinks three, Mike D is D

Double R foots the bill most definitely

I drink Brass Monkey, and I rock well

I got a castle in Brooklyn, that's where I dwell

'Cause I drink it anytime and any place

When it's time to get ill, I pour it on my face

Monkey tastes Def when you pour it on ice

Come on, y'all, it's time to get nice

Coolin' by the lockers, getting kind of funky

Me and the crew, we're drinking Brass Monkey

This girl walked by, she gave me the eye

I reached in the locker, grabbed the Spanish Fly

I put it in the Monkey, mixed it in a cup

Went over to the girl, "Yo baby, what's up?"

I offered her a sip, the girl, she gave me lip

It did begin, the stuff wore in, and now she's on my tip

Step up to the bar, put the girl down

She takes a big gulp and slaps it around

You take a sip, you can do it, you get right to it

We had a case in the place, and we went right through it

You got a dry martini, you thinking you're cool

I'll take your place at the bar, I smack you off your stool

I'll down a .40 dog in a single gulp

And if you got beef, you'll get beat to a pulp

Monkey and parties and reelin' and rockin'

Def-def girls-girls, all y'all jockin'

The song and dance keeping you in a trance

If you don't buy my record, I got my advance

I drink it, I think it, I see it, I be it

I love Brass Monkey but I don't give D it

We got the bottle, you got the cup

Come on, everybody, let's get fff—
