Run Red Run Lyrics - The Coasters

Oh, Red went and bought himself a monkey 

Got him from a pawn shop broker 

He taught that monkey how to guzzle beer 

And he taught him out to play stud poker 

Last night when they were gambling in the kitchen 

The monkey he was taking a beating 

The monkey said Red, "I'm going to shoot you dead 

Because I know that well, you been a cheating" 

Well, run, Red, run, because he's got your gun 

And he's aiming it at your head (boogedy-boogedy-boogedy) 

Run Red run, because he's got your gun 

And he's aiming it at your head (boogedy) 

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 sure could run 

But, let me tell you sport, don't sell that monkey short 

'Cause he's a traveling son-of-a-gun 

Well, run, Red, run, because he's got your gun 

And he's aiming it at your head (boogedy-boogedy-boogedy) 

Run Red run, because he's got your gun 

And he's aiming it at your head (boogedy) 

You better get up and wail 

You better move your tail before he fills it full of lead 

Monkey trapped Red in a parking a lot 

Down along the avenue 

The 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 'em to me, or I'll shoot 

I'm gonna 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 (boogedy-boogedy-boogedy) 

Run, Red run, because he's got your gun 

And he's aiming it at your head (boogedy) 

You better get up and wail 

You better move your tail before he fills it full of lead
