The song references the Scopes trial ("They prosecuted some poor sucker in these United States / For teaching that man descended from the apes") but says that the trial could have been avoided by merely looking at how men behave around women ("They coulda settled that case without a fuss or fight / If they'd seen me chasing you, sugar, through the jungle last night / They'da called in that jury and a one two three, said / Part man, part monkey, definitely").<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.brucespringsteen.it/DB/sd3.aspx?sid=428|title=Part Man, Part Monkey|website=The Killing Floor}}</ref>
