My Monkey Songtext
von Jonathan Coulton

My monkey gets busy, sometimes
My monkey′s got a lot of stuff he's gotta think about
My monkey gets tired, sometimes
My monkey wishes he was something you could live without

′Cause every monkey needs alone time
To eat bananas in the sunshine
It's feast or famine, it's a fine line
It doesn′t mean my monkey doesn′t love you

My monkey gets frazzled, sometimes
My monkey has an ulcer and a stressful time at work
My monkey gets bitter, sometimes
My monkey's not the only one who′s acting like a jerk


And while he doesn't like to name names
And he′s not trying to assign blame
It's hard to focus on his own game
It doesn′t mean my monkey doesn't love you

My monkey gets angry, sometimes
My monkey says a lot of things he doesn't really mean
My monkey gets lucky, sometimes
My monkey thinks that you′re the bestest girl he′s ever seen

He says he'll stay with you for always
It doesn′t matter what the job pays
'Cause everybody has their bad days
It doesn′t mean my monkey doesn't love you

It doesn′t mean my monkey doesn't love you
