I bought a monkey for Sallie

And let it run amok

I bought a monkey for Sallie

It listens to hard rock

It gobbles up our food

Messily

Scribbles on the walls

And especially

Plays with itself

From dawn to dusk

From dusk to the crack of dawn

I bought a monkey for Sallie

Wicked as the day is long

I bought a monkey for Sallie

And let it run amok

It jumps into our bed at night

And fiddles with my cock

Its tail is long and feathery

It swings from the lights

Drinks heavily

And plays with itself

From dawn to dusk

From dusk to the crack of dawn

I bought a monkey for Sallie

Wicked as the day is long

I bought a monkey for Sallie

It's messing up our lives

It plays the barrel organ

And sharpens kitchen knives

I've never seen such lively curiosity

The way it paws at Sallie

And invariably

Plays with itself

From dawn to dusk

From dusk to the crack of dawn

I bought a monkey for Sallie

Wicked as the day is long
