about

This song was written in January 2012.

For a while I wanted to give my first-born child the middle name "Monkey," but I couldn't convince his mother to go for it! What can I say, I've always loved monkeys.

I wrote this song because I was amused by the idea of singing the word "Monkey" over and over, and because I wanted to try writing a duet. But when I got to the end of the 2nd verse I realized the story wasn't complete. Not even confident what a song written for three people was called (a trio? a triette?), I added the verse for the third monkey.

I like how the simple, ungrammatical language gets supported by the rhymes. And how the monkeys decide to be a family.

lyrics

Monkey me Monkey be Monkey free
Monkey me Monkey climb Monkey tree
Monkey play Monkey run
Monkey me Monkey one

Monkey give Monkey hug
Monkey one, two, three Monkey love
