Baby monkey [x2] Riding on a pig Baby monkey

Baby monkey [x2] Backwards on a pig Baby monkey

The world has gone insane
And you don't know what is right

You've got to keep on keeping on
Get on that pig and hold on ti-ight

Baby monkey [x2] Riding on a pig Baby monkey

Baby monkey [x2] Going backwards on a pig Baby monkey, hey

Though, I know, here comes the cloud...is that actually a pig or a baby tapir?

Hayley said...

And what are the chords again, Anna? I will learn this! What an anthem for life.

Anna B said...

hayley- its a basic D,A,ending on G back to D.(takes a minute to learn). lets add it to the songbook xo
that would be one small f'ing tapir, yah?

I don't know which I'm finding more mind-blowing: the video itself, or the fact that Anna has a sense of what size an actual freaking "taper" should be...

WTF is a tapir?

I need to give credit where credit is due: my co-worker Randy was the man who introduced Baby Monkey to me. It has changed my life. Just freakin' cracks me up and improves my mood in any situation.

And, as Ea Anna & I found out, it's a great conversation changer. In a conversation that's getting a bit tense? Boring? Fraught with Peril? Just start singing "Baby Monkey, Baby Monkey, riding on a pig. Baby Monkey..."

Mim "Fraught with Peril" Easton...that is how I think of you now.
