Visit http://www.eyran.com for samples and sales of a great recording of Jeff Beal's Original Monk Title Theme played on the piano by Eyran Katsenelenbogen from his CD "Solotude".
The Season 2 main title theme for Monk is "It's a Jungle Out There" by Oscar-winning composer Randy Newman. Here are the lyrics:

It's a jungle out there
Disorder and confusion everywhere
No one seems to care
Well I do
Hey, who's in charge here?
It's a jungle out there
Poison in the very air we breathe
Do you know what's in the water that you drink?
Well I do, and it's amazing
People think I'm crazy, 'cause I worry all the time
If you paid attention, you'd be worried too
You better pay attention
Or this world we love so much might just kill you
I could be wrong now, but I don't think so
It's a jungle out there
