Back in '64 I was feeling 63 早在64年，我感觉63

The strangest sort of feeling 最奇怪的那种感觉

Started creeping over me 开始爬在我

You would easily forget 你会很容易忘记

My head started burning 我的头开始燃烧

I figured I was crazy 我想我是疯了

So I went back to my chair 于是我又回到了我的椅子

But I looked into my mirror 但我看着我的一面镜子

And I just wasn't there 我只是当时不在场

Just then the window shattered 就在这时，窗口破灭

And a monkey hit the floor 和猴子砸在地板上

Looked like it was time for me 看上去就像是时间让我

To make it to the door 使它在门

   

But the monkey grabbed my coat 但猴子抓住了我的外衣

And took away my hat 并带走了我的帽子

And I don't remember 我不记得

What happened after that 发生了什么事之后

Except my friends hear the story 除了我的朋友们听的故事

About how I left it all behind 关于我是如何离开这一切的背后

Seems ever since that day 似乎自从那一天

I've had that monkey on my mind 我已经有猴子在我心中

Tried to do my best 试着尽我所能

And make something of my life 并作出一些我的生活

   

So I cut off all my relatives 所以，我切断了我所有的亲戚

And then I left my wife 然后，我离开了我的妻子

   

I've tried a hundred cures 我已经试过了一百疗法

Every time I make my mind up 每次我让我的头脑

He started getting funky 他开始变得时髦

It was hard to hold the poor boy down 这是很难保持穷小子下来

Oh the joint started leaping 呵呵关节开始跳跃

Then someone started screaming 这时，有人开始尖叫

And I woke up from my dreaming 我从我的梦就醒了
