Monkey Song Lyrics by Ian Freud

Lazer Loves Charlie

0

A monkey came down from the trees for his tea
It was a half past April – a quarter to three
He looked you up and down then he looked me in the eye
A thumb in your direction said “what the hell’s with this guy?”
But we went to the tea shop for an afternoon tea
Twenty quid a head (so sixty pound for three)
He put his hands in his pockets but he only had a fiver
I think it was then that I knew he was a skiver
We headed back to mine to watch a bit of TV
Flicked between the news and channel 33
But whеn he found the previеw porn his jaw fell through the floor
“What the hell is this? Please tell me that there’s more!”
I couldn’t stand to watch him so I got up off the sofa
Came back in an hour and thank god it was all over
Later on he came around and wanted me to drive him
To find the local talent and a place that he could shine in
So I dropped him at the corner just outside the Jug and Bottle
And watched him in the rear view as I dropped the gears and throttle
I fell into a deep repose I guess that I had half supposed
That’s the last that I'd see him which just goes to show what I know
For at half past four I heard his key in the door
And just half an hour later a girl crying out for more
Monkey’s got his way and it’s a whole other vibe
Said he’d be five minutes then he stayed for the ride
Monkey’s got his way and I just don’t know what to do
(He wants to be a man cub just like you)
I don’t think he’d like it in the zoo
Monkey see, monkey do
Monday came around and it was getting kinda boring
What with the daytime telly and the night time snoring
He’d cleaned out half my savings, and half the local girls
Were so smitten by his swagger that they’d let him have a whirl
He went off to the pub I called the zoo on a hotline
They caught him pretty quickly cos he was half cut on the house wine
Monkey had his way it was a whole other vibe
Now he’s doing porridge at the end of the line
Monkey had his day and I’m just glad that he’s gone
(He wants to be a man cub just like you)
I might go and see him in the zoo
Monkey see, monkey do
