“Wind Up Monkey”

I sat around all by myself most all of the time
Feeling on the whole a bit less than sublime
I saw you come along and I knew just what to do
I knew all I wanted was to entertain you

I want you be your little wind up monkey
With big cymbals, bigger smile and a little hat that’s funky
Turn my crank and just you wait and see
You’ve never had a better little monkey than me

Most of my friends they jump and shout
Wondering what my infatuation is all about
But how could I resist being with you
When I can make you smile when you want me to

I want to be your little wind up monkey
With long tail, tiny vest and a little hat that’s funky
Turn my crank and just you wait and see
You’ll never have a better little monkey than me

And on those days when you just want to cry
Feel free to call on me, babe, for some banana cream pie

You’re off at work, or maybe at play
But you’ll come to your monkey by the end of the day
You know that around you my whole world revolves
Just hope your little monkey doesn’t decide to evolve

I want to be your little wind up monkey
With white teeth, weird eyes and a little hat that’s funky
Turn my crank and just you wait and see
There’s never been a cuter little monkey than me
Yes I’m the cutest monkey that you could ever see
