Monkey Love

Monkey Love

                                             Bea and Lee swinging
                                          Retreat, beaten and bitten
                                             Monkey's left pleading
                                          Never fun without my Bea
                                      Bless monkey that doesn't cling

                                            Monkey wants snuggles
                                         Try to steal a small cuddle
                                           Slapped for his troubles
                                      They go back to holding hands
                                         Picking fleas in wonder land
