Verse 1
G
G
I had these monkeys there.
They were squirrel monkeys.
A friend gave me two.
You ever seen
them, the squirrel monkeys?
And he gave me one.
I called it Friend
because the first time I opened the cage,
he ran up my arm
and stuck his dick in my ear.
And it felt like a wet Q -tip right there.
And there wasn't no action
for him.
He got mad.
He just pissed all on my cheek.
And I grabbed that mouth.
C
C
I threw him up to the ceiling.
G
G
He grabbed the chandelier
and I'm like, ha, ha, ha.
Thought you had me, didn't you?
Did it one time,
this guy was gonna do a movie with me.
And he came over to the house
and said, can I open the case?
I no!
Nyeh, nyeh,
nyeh, nyeh, nyeh, nyeh, nyeh,
And very funny, Rich.
You won't be doing any
films
at Warner Brothers.
I that's my goddamn jar, buddy.
You want to get this monkey's dick
out of my ear?
So I decided to get him some monkey pussy,
you know.
And I got him a beautiful
little woman,
you know.
She was fine.
I called her sister.
And he did the same thing to her.
He ran right in the cage,
stuck his dick right in her ear.
She said, freeze.
First thing I got to do
is show you where the pussy at.
And he got some monkey pussy,
went crazy.
Right, I mean, he would pick the cage lock at night, you know,
and run out and stay two or three
days.
You know, you can hear him
out in the trees.
know, ee -ee -ee -ee -ee -ee.
Ee -ee -ee -ee -ee -ee -ee.
Sometimes real close.
Ee -ee -ee -ee -ee -ee -ee.
Ee -ee -ee -ee -ee -ee -ee -ee.
Finally, the third day,
that motherfucker come in the house,
coming through the window.
I'm like, Nyan, nyan,
Nyan, nyan.
And they died, though, man.
It really hurt me because I left them with a friend, you know?
And he had a gas burner on the floor
and it was off and they turned it on
and the gas killed them.
They was dead.
F
F
Yeah, an d it hurt me real
G
G
bad, you know,
because I loved them so much.
I was in my backyard, I was crying.
C
C
I said, shit, there are monkeys.
G
G
I hope they go to monkey heaven.
Because I love them.
And the dog that lived next door
was a German shepherd
that used to eat up everything.
This motherfucker
jumped the fence
and he came up to me
and I felt something pushing
my hand like that.
And I looked down, he said,
hey Rich, what's the matter?
I said, my monkeys are dead,
they died.
He said, what?
Your monkeys are dead?
You mean the ones that used to be
in the trees?
I said, damn, I was going to eat them, too.
I said, life's a bitch, ain't it?
One day you're here,
the next day you're gone.
G
G
Well, don't linger on it too long.
You know that shit can get to you.
You think? you?"
And he went away,
he walked back to the fence
and he got ready to jump over
and he turned around looked at me said, you
know I'm gonna be chasing you again tomorrow.
