Jutze 52 #23 – Do You Have a Spare Monkey?

This one was inspired by NealMorse.com. I had a hard time to come up with the lyrics because there are so many things you might want to bring along “just in case”. Once I had the lyrics written I struggled finding the appropriate musical style. Polka? Country? Pop? In the end I went with a some kind of contrast: quiet chords versus monkey lyrics. Go figure. (Oh yeah, I filmed myself when I recorded the track.)

#23 Do You Have a Spare Monkey?

There are some things that you never know
When you’re going to need them
Like if you see ducks in Idaho
What are you going to feed them
Yeah sometimes it takes more than a towel
So better be prepared

So get ready while you can
And learn the words to “Mandy”
And you never know just when
A flamethrower might come in handy
Yeah sometimes it takes more than a towel
So better be prepared

Do you have a spare monkey?
