i put a mask on my monkey people laughed as he danced around as i played my plastic violin they said lord, what a beautiful sound in the world of monkeys and violins i do believe we're the best in town now i once tried to give up show biz but it runs too deep in my blood y'see my grandpa was Yosemite Sam and my daddy was Elmer Fudd i just can't abandon the glamorous life even though i know i should ah but my monkey turned to me yesterday just after we'd finished a show he said i don't know how much longer how much longer i can take it you know he said i'm tired of busting my ass out here for these chumps with a dime to throw i said OK listen up monkey i got a proposal for you i'll teach you how to play the violin it's really very easy to do then i'll put on the mask and dance and that'll really be something new so now my monkey plays the violin and we always draw a crowd and there may be folks who don't like our act but i've never heard 'em say it out loud my monkey's just as good as paganninni, man he sure has made me proud copyright Samm Bennett - all rights reserved back to Lyrics Table of Contents |
