I Want My Monkey

I want my monkey.
I want my monkey.
I want my monkey comin' 'round.
I want my monkey comin'

I want my monkey.
He ain't no junkie.
I want my monkey comin' 'round.

He likes bananas
On his cabana
In south Havana in the sun.
He likes bananas in the sun.

He likes bananas
On his cabana
In south Havana in the sun.
Well.....ever since my monkey went away,
All I do is cry throughout the day.
Through all those lonely nights
I used to hold him tight.
If you see him, won't you
Send him on his way.

He likes bananas
On his cabana
In south Havana in the sun.
He likes bananas in the sun.

He likes bananas
On his cabana
In south Havana in the sun.

Well.....ever since I lost my hairy friend,
I'm feeling like I'm really near the end.
'Cause unlike my human kin
I just don't like bare skin.
If you see him, won't you
Send him on his way.

I want my monkey.
I want my monkey.
I want my monkey comin' 'round.
I want my monkey comin'

I want my monkey.
He ain't no junkie.
I want my monkey comin' 'round.
