My mother used to say
"I love you so well
If I had a peanut
I'd give you the shell"
She told me tapioca
Was made of monkey brains
When I tried to make it from scratch
She never complained
My mother is a weird monkey
I guess I get it from her
She dances in the grocery store
And has as crush on MacGyver
When I look into her big brown hair
It becomes so clear to see
We're not so different after all
My mother's turned out just like me
People ask me why
I turned out this way
"Did a monkey farmer raise you?
"Naw!"
This is what I say:
My mother is a weird monkey
I guess I get it from her
She dances in the grocery store
And has as crush on MacGyver
When I look into her big brown hair
It becomes so clear to see
We're not so different after all
My mother's turned out just like me
