Intro, Bridge - Riff 1 x2
Verse - Riff 1 x4
Chorus - Riff 2 x3, Riff 3
Bridge - Riff 1 x2

Verse 1
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

Chorus 1
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

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

Verse 2
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

Chorus 2
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
Riff 3
It doesn’t mean my monkey doesn’t love you

Bridge

Verse 3
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

Chorus 3
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
Riff 3
It doesn’t mean my monkey doesn’t love you
