A Tiger And A Monkey And Me Songtext
von Trout Fishing in America

Look what followed me home, home from the zoo
It′s a great big tiger and a monkey, too
They're the best of friends, friends since they were babies long ago
Hey look what followed me home, they look hungry can I feed ′em?
They're so cute. I wonder can I keep 'em?
We′ll be the best of friends, a tiger and a monkey and me
Swinging through the trees, happy as can be
Or riding on a tiger, no one will mess with me
We′ll be the best of friends, a tiger and a monkey and me
A tiger and a monkey and me
The tiger says they named him Elvis
'Cause he was always kind of chunky
He used to run with cool cats, but now he prefers the monkey
They′re the best of friends, friends since they were babies long ago
And the monkey says hoo-hoo-hee-ha-ha, but what he really means to say
Is he's very glad to meet you. Can you come out and play?
Don′t be afraid, it's just a tiger and a monkey and me
Swinging through the trees, happy as can be
Or riding on a tiger, no one will mess with me
We′ll be the best of friends, a tiger and a monkey and me


A tiger and a monkey and me
Elvis can sleep by the fireplace
He looks like a rug lying on the floor
The monkey wants to hang out on the coat rack
So he can climb on my back when I walk out the door
Now look what followed me home
Elvis can sleep by the fireplace
He looks like a rug lying on the floor
The monkey wants to hang out on the coat rack
So he can climb on my back when I walk out the door
Now look what followed me home, home from the zoo
It's a great big tiger and a monkey, too
They're the best of friends, friends since they were babies long ago
We′ll need a hundred pounds of cat food, bananas by the dozen
When my Daddy saw the monkey he thought it was my cousin
That′d make Dad a monkey's uncle
A tiger and a monkey and me
Swinging through the trees, happy as can be
Or riding on a tiger, no one will mess with me
We′ll be the best of friends, a tiger and a monkey and me
A tiger and a monkey and me
A tiger and a monkey and me
