Well, run Red run, because he's got your gun And he's aiming it at your head. Run Red run, because he's got your gun, And he's aiming it at your head. You better get up and wail, You better move your tail before he fills it full of lead Oh, Red jumped up and started to move like a P80-Saber Jet. He zoomed around the corner, and he disappeared And everybody started to stare. The race was on, you know the chase was on And Red he was all shook up But, let me tell you sport, don't sell that monkey short, Because he's a travelling son of a gun. Well, run Red run, because he's got your gun And he's aiming it at your head. Run Red run, because he's got your gun, And he's aiming it at your head. You better get up and wail, You better move your tail before he fills it full of lead Monkey trapped Red in a parking alot. Down along the Avenue, Monkey said, "Red, you've made a man out of me, Now I'm going to make a monkey out of you. Give me your car keys, give me your wallet Give it to me here, or I'll shoot Going to put on your brand new Stetson hat And go to town in your new brown suit." Well, run Red run, because he's got your gun And he's aiming it at your head. Run Red run, because he's got your gun, And he's aiming it at your head.
