Copyright 2015 (c)
Pop-Easy Listening/Smooth Jazz
New Sax Version
1st Verse
I took my monkey to a wedding
Cause I couldn't find a date
Yes, I took my monkey to a wedding
Oh, and man it was a mistake!
2nd Verse
I should have been worried
When he left my side
He didn't like the groom,
So he stole the bride
Chorus
I got a post card from Rio
He said he's havin' a grand time
Drinkin' banana daqries
And swingin' from vine to vine
Lift
Knew there was trouble, when he left my side
Didn't like the groom, so he stole the bride
3rd Verse
Oh, turned out to be just a dream
I was the groom you see
My Ex left me at the alter
And made a monkey out of me....
4th Verse
I made a toast to myself
And ate the chicken fricassee
Then honey mooned all alone
In Rio by the sea, oh Rio by the sea......
Lift
Knew there was trouble, when he left my side
Didn't like the groom, so he stole the bride
Chorus
I sent a postcard from Rio
Oh, I'm havin' a grand time
Just drinkin' banana daqries
Now I'm doin' just fine
