Me And My Monkey

Robbie Williams - Me And My Monkey



Intro: Cm Fm Bb G#

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

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

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

Cm
Me and my monkey
Fm
Drove in search of the sun
Bb
Me and my monkey
G#
Don't point that gun at anyone
Cm
Me and my monkey
Fm
Like Billy The Kid
Bb G#
Trying to understand why he did what he did
Why he did what he did

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

Cm
Me and my monkey
Fm
Drove in search of the sun
Bb
Me and my monkey
G#
We don't wanna kill no Mexican
Cm
But we got ten itchy fingers
Fm
One thing to declare
Bb G#
When the monkey is high You do not stare
You do not stare

Cm Fm Bb G#

Cm Fm
Looks like we got ourselves a Mexican stand off here boy
And I ain?t about to run
Bb
Put your gun down boy
G#
How did I get mixed up with this fucking monkey anyhow
