My Monkey

I had a little monkey I sent him to the country and I fed him on gingerbread Along came a choo-choo, knocked my monkey coo-coo And now my monkey's dead At least he looks that way Then again, don't we all? What I make is what I am I can't be forever [Verse] I had a little monkey, livin' by my side Sent him to the country, thought he'd have a good time Fed him on gingerbread, laughed and danced all day But along came a choo-choo, took my monkey away (away) [Verse 2] Now my monkey's coo-coo, don't know where he's gone Miss his silly antics, now I'm all alone At least he looks that way, oh, in monkey paradise But don't we all pretend, hiding behind our own disguise? [Chorus] What I make is what I am, a little broken, a little lost I can't be forever, seasons change, hearts defrost But let's remember the joy, the laughter in the air And cherish all the moments we had, even when it's not fair I had a little monkey I sent him to the country and I fed him on gingerbread Along came a choo-choo, knocked my monkey coo-coo And now my monkey's dead At least he looks that way Then again, don't we all? I had a little monkey I sent him to the country and I fed him on gingerbread Along came a choo-choo, knocked my monkey coo-coo And now my monkey's dead Poor little monkey "Make you, break you, make you, break you" "Make you, break you, make you, look out" What I make is what I am I can't live forever But along came a choo-choo, took my monkey away (away)
