The Love Monkey by Brett Martin Smith

The Love Monkey

My partner called me up and said let’s go fer a ride

Down to the country dance to find a new bride

I said that I don’t really think that I wanna go

I think I’m past my limit fer the season don’t ya know

He said poachin’s legal if ya don’t get caught

And it’s easy to do when ya got what ya got

Then I looked at my friend and asked him what would that be

He laughed as he said yer the love monkey

I’m the love monkey, you get yerself a barrel a fun

I’m the love monkey, a primate phenomenon

I’m the love monkey, swingin’ tree to tree

I’m the love monkey, ya get banana if ya come with me

So we jumped in my truck and we headed down the road

Across the old millstream toward the mother load

We rounded the next bend and much to our delight

A 100 pretty women at the door, in our headlights

So I slicked back my hair, sprayed on more cologne

My friend said ahggghhher in that Tim Allen tone

I said to my friend what’s my line gonna be

He said you just tell ‘em yer the love monkey

I’m the love monkey, you get yerself a barrel a fun

I’m the love monkey, a primate phenomenon

I’m the love monkey, swingin’ tree to tree

I’m the love monkey, ya get banana if ya come with me

I spied me a cutesy as the band played a waltz

Sprayed on more cologne and made my assault

I asked her if she’d like to be my escort ‘round the floor

And after just one dance we headed fer the door

We went out in the woods and I strummed on my guitar

I kissed her on the neck then we headed fer her car

I asked her if there’s any way she’d like to marry me

And she said why of course, yer the love monkey

I’m the love monkey, you get yerself a barrel a fun

I’m the love monkey, a primate phenomenon

I’m the love monkey, swingin’ tree to tree

I’m the love monkey, ya get banana if ya come with me

Bunch a little primates now a running through the house

The oldest one is courting and scared as a mouse

Dad how can I know that she wants to be with me

I said son, that’s simple, yer a love monkey

I’m the love monkey, you get yerself a barrel a fun

I’m the love monkey, a primate phenomenon

I’m the love monkey, swingin’ tree to tree

I’m the love monkey, ya get banana if ya come with me
