For the Animal in Us All
“SHINY MONKEY JANGLES”
“Shiny monkey jangles
through the brambles
and the tangles
of the vines
that always strangle
his hopes of finding you.
Shiny monkey hisses
at the Chloe-
wearin’ missus
who is always
blowin’ kisses
when all he wants is you.
Poor little monkey gonna lose his mind.
Had enough of your monkeyshines.
You know he wants to put it all behind.
Put it.
Behind.
Shiny monkey prances --
pirouettes,
struts and dances
to the rhythm
that enhances
the groove he feels for you.
Shiny monkey chatters --
plucking kiwi
from the platters
as the faint-
of-heart all scatter
without a taste of you.
Poor little monkey gonna lose his mind.
Had enough of your monkeyshines.
You know he wants to put it all behind.
Put it.
Behind.
Mmmm,
behind."
