Robbie Williams — Me And My Monkey

Me And My Monkey

There was me and my monkey
And with his dungarees and roller blades
smoking filter tips
Reclining in the passenger seat of my super-
charged jet black Chevrolet
He had the soft-top down (he liked the wind
in his face)
He said 'Son, you ever been to Vegas?' I said 'no'
He said 'that's where we're gonna go - you
need a change of pace'
And we hit the strip with all the wedding
chapels and the neon signs
He said 'I left my wallet in El Segondo'
and proceeded to take two grand of mine
We made tracks to The Mandalay Bay Hotel
Asked the bell boy if he'd take me and my
monkey as well?
He looked in the passenger seat of my car
and with a smile he said
'If your monkey's got that kind of money
sir, then we've got a monkey bed!'

Chorus:
Me and my monkey
With a dream and a gun
I'm hoping my monkey don't point that gun at
anyone
Me and my monkey
Like Butch and the Sundance Kid
Trying to understand why he did what he did
Why he did what he did

We got the elevator, I hit the 33rd floor
We had a room up top with the panoramic
views like nothing you'd ever seen before
He went to sleep in the bidet and when he awoke
He ran his little monkey fingers through
yellow pages
Called up some escort services and ordered
some okey doke
Forty minutes later there came a knock at the door
In walked this big bad ass baboon into my
bedroom with three monkey whores
'Hi! My name is Sunshine - these are my girls
Lace my palm with silver baby and oh yeah,
they'll rock your world'
So I watched pay-per-view and polished my
shoes and my gun
Was diggin' old Kurt Cobain singing 'bout lithium
There came a knock at the door and in walked Sunshine
'What's up? You'd better get your ass in
here boy, your monkey's having too much of
a good time!'

Chorus.

Got tickets to see Sheena Easton, the monkey was high
Said it was a burning ambition to see her before he died
We left before encores, he couldn't sit still
Sheena was a blast baby but my monkey was ill
We went to play black-jack, kept hitting twenty three
Couldn't help but notice this Mexican just
staring at me
Or was it my monkey? I couldn't be sure
It's not like you'd never seen a monkey in
rollerblades and dungarees before
Now don't test my patience 'cause we're not
about to run
That's a bad ass monkey boy and he's packing a gun
'My name is Rodriguez', he says with death in his eye
'I've been chasing you for a long time
amigos, and now your monkey's gonna die!
