E  B7          C#m  A
My monkey gets busy sometimes
E  B7             C#m               A           E
My monkey's got a lot of stuff he's gotta think about
   B7          C#m   A
My monkey gets tired sometimes
E  B7            C#m              A              Amaj7
My monkey wishes he was something you could live without

                         B7
Cause every monkey needs alone time
Amaj7                 B7
To eat bananas in the sunshine
Amaj7                        B7
It's feast or famine, it's a fine line
Amaj7                             B7
It doesn't mean my monkey doesn't love you

E  B7          C#m      A
My monkey gets frazzled sometimes
E  B7            C#m         A                 E
My monkey has an ulcer and a stressful time at work
   B7          C#m    A
My monkey gets bitter sometimes
E  B7               C#m            A             Amaj7
My monkey's not the only one who's acting like a jerk

                             B7
And while he doesn't like to name names
Amaj7                  B7
And he's not trying to assign blame
Amaj7                     B7
It's hard to focus on his own game
Amaj7                             B7
It doesn't mean my monkey doesn't love you

E  B7          C#m      A
My monkey gets angry sometimes
E  B7          C#m      A                        E
My monkey says a lot of things he doesn't really mean
   B7          C#m      A
My monkey gets lucky sometimes
E  B7          C#m      A                            
   Amaj7
My monkey thinks that you're the bestest girl he's ever seen

Amaj7                           B7
He says he'll stay with you for always
Amaj7                      B7
It doesn't matter what the job pays
Amaj7                     B7
Cause everybody has their bad days
Amaj7                             B7
It doesn't mean my monkey doesn't love you
