   Re: "There ain't nothin' in Chicago for a monkey woman to do" from Your Gold   
   Teeth is a direct quote of a line from "Going to Chicago" (Basie/Williams).   
      
   Joe Williams explains it on his Grammy-winning album Nothin' But the Blues:   
   "...and besides being poor, he had a woman with a heroin addict[ion], you   
   know, a monkey woman... [she had] a monkey on her back."
