Monkey
Dr. Frank Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It was a careless thing to do
But are you aware I spend all my spare time
Missing you?
And I know you've been dreaming
Of a simian surprise
And all I ever do is think about you
And your lovely eyes
But I love you more than words can say
And words can say a lot
Though often they do not
I contemplate you day and night
More beautiful than any star
I'm your mate, you're my mate
And we don't need some primate
To show us what we are, right?
But I still owe you a monkey
And I'll get on it right away
But you may regret it if you ever get it
They're mischievous, so they say
But I love you more than anything
And if that sounds too vague
I'd cut off my left leg for you
And I'd avoid other girls like the plague
If you were here I'd beg you to stay
What more can I say?
Happy Monkeyless Valentines Day
The song Monkey by Dr. Frank is an interesting and quirky love song. The lyrics are about how the singer misplaced his lover's monkey (presumably a stuffed toy), but he spends all his spare time missing her. He acknowledges that he owes her a monkey and promises to get it right away. However, he also implies that they don't really need a primate to show them what they are.
The song is full of playful wit and humor. While it seems to be a simple love song about missing someone, it is actually a clever commentary on our human need for tangible symbols of affection. The monkey becomes a metaphor for the things we give and receive in a relationship, and how they can often distract us from the deeper bonds we share.
Overall, the lyrics of Monkey are thought-provoking and entertaining, delivered in Dr. Frank's signature style of catchy melodies and clever wordplay.
