I can't think of anything myself
so I'm just gonna tell others what to do

monkey see
monkey do

I now just got an idea that is brilliant I think
and I'm not gonna tell anyone it came from you

monkey see
monkey do

We both know you had the idea first but it's between us
and I'm not gonna tell anyone if you don't want to

monkey see
monkey do

But the world knows, little monkey friend, when they see it again
it's a whitewash censored rendering of the original idea you fool

monkey pee
monkey doo doo

Wannabe writers who write as a hobby, not born with it
are alas the cheap profitmaking booktrends new school

monkey see
monkey do

I apologize to all my monkeyfriends
from Galapagos to Gibraltar island
for calling these thieves monkeys

and to all the ones who borrowed from me
with no ill intent,
cause I also sometimes do, with the best of intentions

monkey see
monkey do

too
