Daniel Johnston Poptunes Lyrics

monkey middle with a fiddle
in a real tight ragtime band
cause a blaze of fame and fortune
heard so loud across the land
and those little people who buy those records sit lonely
in their homes with funny faces falling into the great
unknown
they got little polka-dot undies
and you know they have their fun
they got matching ties and curtains
and they get their washing done
but come evening comes a feeling when they lay their
burdens down when they put that record on
the house is jumping with excitement ' everyone's acting out of character
but everything goes back to normal
a half an hour later
and everyone acts like nothing happened
as that record goes back into he sleeve
that's one house guest that'll never leave
monkey middle with a fiddle
in a real tight ragtime band
cause a blaze of fame and fortune
heard so loud across the land
and those little people who buy those records sit lonely
in their homes with funny faces falling into the great
unknown
