There is a monkey in the window
Sometimes he acts like he's driving my car
Sometimes he hangs up side down form my mirror
or hangs from the sun visor
There is a monkey in the window

Have you ever laid on the grass and looked up at the sky
Watched the clouds change as they passed by
Was it a face or animal or maybe a state
Lying there, forgetting about the world, sure is great

After the rain comes sunshine
After winter comes spring
After sadness comes happiness
After failure comes dreams

Hope, love and peace for everybody

Would you hold it against me if I told you how I felt
Would it be wrong to tell you; if you made me feel like no one else
If I put myself out there and you don't feel the same way
Let me down gently; I can't help it if I felt that way

Everybody is looking for love
Everybody wants someone who cares
Everybody is looking for love
People are searching everywhere

We all want that beautiful feeling
Someone to touch our hearts
We want it to be the real thing
So we don't have to search no more

Cincinnati Opening Day
It's a regional holiday
The Finley Market parade
America's first professional baseball team does it the right way

Excitement is in the air
I like to go downtown and pick up freebies on the square
Everybody is dressed in red or Reds gear
Bands are playing, if you want to have fun; you got to go there

The start of baseball season
You know warm weather is near
Everybody has high hopes that this is the year
Opening Day in Cincinnati, come on down and have a beer

  C
O O
g0 Reds!

It's the greatest band in the world
They play from shore to shore
The giant fingers move up and down the beaches
The sand is its cords

Sometimes they play violently
Like a rock band
Other times more softly
With the melody of a love song

People travel every year to hear them
Language barriers; they have none
Everyone likes to hear them
The Waves; they are number one
