Monkey Money

So yu running down The House The Car The Land Monkey Money No time for family and friends just the monkey money No time to reflect and enjoy some Good home cooking No time to analyze and realize Monkey money is no substitute for concerts missed OR graduations. No sir, no amount of monkey money Can ever make up for the permanent frown on a pretty face When she surveys the crowded room and you are not there. Monkey money Monkey money keep your monkey money.

Monkey Money is written based on the premise that sometimes we are so preoccupied with the attainment of material things that we forget how to enjoy life's simple and often most important treasures. The title is also befitting in that when we attain a vast amount of wealth we start acting out of character: in essence very different from our true self.
