I'M Not One To Point Fingers But Somebody Stole My Monkey

Alright no one here leaves Until I get back my monkey He was right here beside me When we sat down at the bar He got up to use the restroom Cause my monkey is not uncouth I KNOW he didn't just drive off I still have the keys to the car We were having the best of times Telling jokes and making up zoological rhymes He even passed around that picture You know the one with the orangutan in that embarrassing position That's the last time I saw him My monkey...my best friend Will somebody help me look please These tears have all but blurred my vision I've now checked every zoo on the East coast Every circus that I know Thinking perhaps he was monkeynapped By some clown or zoological freak I haven't seen hide nor hair Of a clean shaven monkey in underwear I told you he wasn't uncouth My monkey learned that from me These days I cry in my beer Since my monkey's no longer here I guess Doodles had better things To do with his life If my monkey, Doodles you ever do see Will you tell him I miss him oodles for me And that I've accepted the fact that he's not coming back And that I'll be alright...
