My Monkey - 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
