Happy Monkey

from TWO WORDS by Stephen Bard

lyrics

Monkey getting busy, had a call down on the street
Spending lots of money, fat with all there is to eat
Now he’s getting dizzy body surfing for some prize
Checking out the honey with them laser perfect eyes
Trying to grow some business so he want to rent that place
Selling out for Xmas, running bat shit in the rat race
Want his sex and violence, his pretzels and his beer
Something in the silence that he don’t slow down to hear

Happy monkey plugging that right into the system
Bowl of daily email chat, morning cup of TV
Don’t know where his clan is at
Don’t know if he missed them
Empty screen now big and flat where he think they used to be

Monkey making contacts in a three-piece, hitting hard
Signing bogus contracts with the donkeys in the backyard
Taking secret lunches swinging tall from vine to vine
Rolling with the punches with his balls out on the line
Monkey want to party all night, to the city go
Sneaks to see his nudity and all of it on video
Always want to film this as to make sure that it’s real
Something in the stillness that he won’t slow down to feel

Happy monkey laughing at the pages always turning
Tramping on the welcome mat, preaching to the choir
Doesn’t even notice that the jungle keeps on burning
Hard to hold on to your hat when your hands are both on fire

Happy monkey plugging that right into the system
Bowl of daily email chat, morning cup of TV
Don’t know where his family’s at
Don’t know how he missed them
Empty screen now big and flat where he think they used to be
Where he think they used to be
Where he think they used to be
Where he think they used to be
