This post originally appeared in September under the title "Cheer Up Monkey"
You get blue like everyone
But me and rum and coke
Can make your troubles go away
Blow away, there they go...
Cheer up, Monkey
Give me a smile
What happened to the smile I used to know
Don't you know your grin has always
Been my sunshine;
Let that sunshine show...
Come on, Monkey
No need to frown
Deep down you know tomorrow is your toy...
When the days get heavy
Never pitter patter
Up and at'em boy
Some day, sweet as a song
Monkey’s lucky day will come along
Till that day
You've got to stay strong Monkey
Up on top is right where you belong
Look up, Monkey
You'll see a star
Just follow it and keep your dreams in view
Pretty soon the sky is going to clear up
Monkey,
Cheer up Monkey, do
Cheer up Monkey
Just be glad you're you.
