Another Postcard (Chimps)

You can't imagine so many monkeys in the daily mailAll of them coming anonymously so they leave no trailI never thought I'd have an admirer from overseasBut someone is sending me stationary filled with chimpanzees.Some chimps in swimsuits, some chimps are swinging from a vineSome chimps in jackboots, some chimps that wish they could be mine.Starsky and Hutch chimps, a chimp who's sitting on the canA pair of Dutch chimps who send their love from Amsterdam.CHORUS (x2):Another postcard with chimpanzeesAnd every one is addressed to me.If I had to guess, I'd say the monkey-sender thinks it's greatHe's sending me, maybe she's sending me just to see me get irateI'm losing sleep - and it's gonna be keeping me up all nightI thought it was funny, but now I've got money on a monkey fight.Some chimps in hard hats, chimps a-working on a chain gangSome chimps who love cats, burning rubber in a MustangA birthday-wishing chimp, a chimp in black like a gothA goin' fishin' chimp, a British chimp in the bath.CHORUS (x2)Somehow they followed me even though I packed and moved my homeNo matter what, they come and they come they won't leave me aloneAnother monkey in the mail could make me lose my mindBut look at me shuffling through the stack until I finally findSome chimps in swimsuitsSome chimps in JackbootsSome chimps in hard hatsSome chimps who love catsI've got some shaved chimps; that's chimps devoid of any hairI've got depraved chimps dressed up in women's underwear.Another postcard with chimpanzeesAnd every one is addressed to me.Every one is, every one is, every one is addressed to me.Every one is, every one is, every one is addressed to me.CHORUS (x4)Some chimps in swimsuits, Some chimps in JackbootsSome chimps in hard hats, Some chimps who love catsI've got some shaved chimps; that's chimps devoid of any hairI've got depraved chimps dressed up in women's underwear.Starsky and Hutch chimps, a chimp who's sitting on the canA pair of Dutch chimps who send their love from Amsterdam.Some chimps in Mustangs, Some chimps in chain gangs
