My Monkey by Jonathan Coulton

[audio:1-02 My Monkey 1.mp3]

My monkey gets busy sometimes My monkeys got a lot of stuff hes gotta think about My monkey gets tired sometimes My monkey wishes he was something you could do without

Cause every monkey needs alone time To eat bananas in the sunshine Its feast or famine its a fine line It doesnt mean my monkey doesnt love you

[My monkey butler Brian Dennehy screwed up again and hes sorry] [My monkey he loves you My monkey loves you very much] [My monkey says My monkey says] [My monkey says hes sorry hes a monkey but hes got to be a monkey and theres nothing he can do]

My monkey gets frazzled sometimes My monkey has an ulcer and a stressful time at work My monkey gets bitter sometimes My monkeys not the only one whos acting like a jerk

And while he doesnt like to name names And hes not trying to assign blame Its hard to focus on his own game It doesnt mean my monkey doesnt love you

[My monkey butler Brian Dennehy screwed up again and hes sorry] [My monkey he loves you My monkey loves you very much] [My monkey says My monkey says] [My monkey says hes sorry hes a monkey but hes got to be a monkey and theres nothing he can do]

My monkey gets angry sometimes My monkey says a lot of things he doesnt really mean My monkey gets lucky sometimes My monkey thinks that youre the bestest girl hes ever seen

He says hell stay with you for always It doesnt matter what the job pays Cause everybody has their bad days It doesnt mean my monkey doesnt love you

[My monkey butler Brian Dennehy screwed up again and hes sorry] [My monkey he loves you My monkey loves you very much] [My monkey says My monkey says] [My monkey says hes sorry hes a monkey but hes got to be a monkey and theres nothing he can do]

It doesnt mean my monkey doesnt love you
