A month out on the road and I start to feel alone
And my baby won't respond when I call her on the phone
So I pack up all my gear and I make the long trip back
And the shock that I found here was like a heart attack

While I was workin' hard my girl was out gettin' lucky
But what really broke my heart was how she stole my monkey

First I called the cops but they don't really care
No taking fingerprints or strands of monkey hair
I called the FBI and the CIA
But they just said I need to be locked away

While I was workin' hard my girl was out gettin' lucky
But what really broke my heart was how she stole my monkey

I complain to all my friends but they don't understand
They tell me to move on and be a better man
But the one thing that I know that they don't realize
Compared to my girl the monkey was the prize

While I was workin' hard my girl was out gettin' lucky
But what really broke my heart was how she stole my monkey
