Monkey Songtext
von Toothpick

It hurts to be so good
And it′s hard to be so sexy
This monkey's on my back again
So say hello and throw me a banana
It hurts to be so good
And it′s hard to be so sexy
This monkey's on my back again
So say hello and throw me a banana

Now I'm not a star, I′m not even famous
When I get lost in the jungle, that′s when everything changes
I could fly to the moon where no one could touch me
After fortune and glory, it's me and my monkey
He likes sweet Brazilian girls in pigtails and tank tops
That barely cover coconut skin colored gum drops
And I might seem just a little bit blue
′Cause they took my best friend back to the zoo


It hurts to be so good
And it's hard to be so sexy
This monkey′s on my back again
So say hello and throw me a banana
It hurts to be so good
And it's hard to be so sexy
This monkey′s on my back again
So say hello and throw me a banana

Every day is the same, I can't explain
I turn water to wine, so I love when it rains
I turn glass into crystal, kiss you and tell you it's diamonds
Then I tell you I miss you and you won′t care that I′m lying
'Cause I got the prettiest girl, I′m the talk of the town
Picture the prom queen tryna go down on the class clown
Now I'm that guy that you hated at school
′Cause all the girls never paid any attention to you

It hurts to be so good
And it's hard to be so sexy
This monkey′s on my back again
So say hello and throw me a banana
It hurts to be so good
And it's hard to be so sexy
This monkey's on my back again
So say hello and throw me a banana


Maybe they just wanted me for my monkey (Monkey)
Now he′s gone and the girls don′t come around
Maybe they like me for me, but I'm not that lucky (Lucky)
I think they pick me up just to bring me down

It hurts to be so good
And it′s hard to be so sexy
This monkey's on my back again
So say hello and throw me a banana
It hurts to be so good
And it′s hard to be so sexy
This monkey's on my back again
So say hello and throw me a banana
It hurts to be so good
And it′s hard to be so sexy
This monkey's on my back again
So say hello and throw me a banana
It hurts to be so good
And it's hard to be so sexy
This monkey′s on my back again
So say hello and throw me a banana
Monkey
