Toothpick - Monkey Lyrics




It hurts to be so good, and it's hard to be so sexy.
This monkey's on my back again so say "Hello" but throw me a banana.
It hurts to be so good, and it's hard to be so sexy.
This monkey's on my back again so say "Hello" but throw me a banana.

Now I'm not a star. I'm not even famous.
When I get lost in the jungle, that's when everything changes.
I could fly to the moon, where no one could touch me.
After fortune and glory, it's me and my monkey.
He likes sweet Brazilian girls, in pigtails and tank tops.
That barely cover coconuts, skin colored gumdrops.
And I might seem just a little bit blue,
'Cuz they took my best friend back to the zoo.

It hurts to be so good, and it's hard to be so sexy.
This monkey's on my back again so say "Hello" but throw me a banana.
It hurts to be so good, and it's hard to be so sexy.
This monkey's on my back again so say "Hello" but throw me a banana.

(ooh, ooh, ooh)
Every day is the same. I can't explain.
I turn water to wine, so I love when it rains.
I turn glass into to crystal, kiss you and tell you it's diamonds.
Then I tell you I miss you, and you won't care that I'm lyin'.
'Cuz I've got the prettiest girl, I'm the talk of the town.
Picture the prom queen tryin' to go down on the class clown.
Now I'm that guy that you hated at school,
'Cuz all the girls never paid any attention to you.

It hurts to be so good, and it's hard to be so sexy.
This monkey's on my back again so say "Hello" but throw me a banana.
It hurts to be so good, and it's hard to be so sexy.
This monkey's on my back again so say "Hello" but throw me a banana.

Maybe they just wanted me for my monkey.
Now he's gone and the girls don't come around.
Maybe they like me for me, but I'm not that lucky.
I think they pick me up just to bring me down.

It hurts to be so good, and it's hard to be so sexy.
This monkey's on my back again so say "Hello" but throw me a banana.
It hurts to be so good, and it's hard to be so sexy.
This monkey's on my back again so say "Hello" but throw me a banana.
It hurts to be so good, and it's hard to be so sexy.
This monkey's on my back again so say "Hello" but throw me a banana.
