Steven Markus Bernstein: Music

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)

I bought my baby, a diamond ring
I treat her nice and everything
I play it cool
I play it funky
But she says, “Baby,
Bring me the monkey”

I need a Monkey
To rub my feet
I need a Monkey
To feel complete
I need a Monkey
To stroke my neck
I need a Monkey
to pay the check
I need a Monkey
To feed me sweets
I need a Monkey
Between the sheets

I took by baby out
Saturday night
She drank too much
Got into a fight
I said now listen girl
Why you so spunky
She said “shut up,
Give me the monkey”.

I bought my baby a limousine
Black and long
in the light it gleamed
She got in back
and told me it was junkie then said
get over here
and bring me that monkey

I took my baby
Down Mexico way
She couldn’t translate
What the folks had to say
Whacked a piñata
then grabbed a chunky
And said, Give me that Monkey
