Cause every monkey needs alone time

To eat bananas in the sunshine
Amaj7Amaj7             B7B7
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 gets bitter sometimes
E MajorE  B7B7       C# minorC#m      BB       Amaj7Amaj7
My monkey's not the only one who's acting like a jerk

               B7B7
And while he doesn't like to name names
Amaj7Amaj7         B7B7
And he's not trying to assign blame
Amaj7Amaj7           B7B7
It's hard to focus on his own game

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

My monkey says a lot of things he doesn't really mean
  B7B7     C# minorC#m  A augmentedA
My monkey gets lucky sometimes
E MajorE  B7B7         C# minorC#m        BB       Amaj7Amaj7
My monkey thinks that you're the bestest girl he's ever seen

                B7B7
He says he'll stay with you for always
Amaj7Amaj7            B7B7
It doesn't matter what the job pays
Amaj7Amaj7           B7B7
Cause everybody has their bad days

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