Monkey Lyrics

I'm sorry I misplaced your monkey
It was a careless thing to do
but are you aware I spend all my spare time
missing you?
and I know you've been dreaming
of a simian surprise
and all I ever do is think about you
and your lovely eyes
but I love you more than words can say
and words can say a lot
though often they do not
I contemplate you day and night
more beautiful than any star
I'm your mate, you're my mate
and we don't need some primate
to show us what we are, right?

but I still owe you a monkey
and I'll get on it right away
but you may regret it if you ever get it
they're mischievous, so they say

but I love you more than anything
and if that sounds too vague
I'd cut off my left leg for you
and I'd avoid other girls like the plague
if you were here I'd beg you to stay
what more can I say?
