So long
- gone!
My classic movie tapes
of King Kong
and Planet of the Apes!
My giant Banana painting!
Shit, that too, he tried to steal.
Seems he slipped while carrying it
and it lost some of its appeal...
Look past the crime scene ribbon
the door was locked, you see.
You can take it for gibbon
'twas picked with a mon-key!
Long distance calls were made
from all of my phones.
The targets, I'm afraid
were Peter Tork and Davey Jones!
He broke my typewriter! Curses!
Oh, that beast had fun in here today.
I see he wrote some verses,
but at least none of Shakespeare's plays!
You know, if I catch that brute
I'll spank that monkey black
I don't care if it's cute
I'll even spank Macaque!
The police?
They don't believe me.
This case they won't be solving.
They say it could just be
that it's me...
(I'm still evolving)
