This song is the first single out of the Everything to Everyone CD. If you like
chimps, this is your song! I agree that this is not the best song to play all
by yourself, but if you're a hardcore BNL fan like me, every song is fun to
play at the guitar !

1st Verse
Esus4
You can't imagine so many monkeys in the daily mail
All of them coming anonymously so they leave no trail
Esus4
I never thought I'd have an admirer from overseas
But someone is sending me stationary filled with chimpanzees.
2nd Verse (you can choose to palm mute those chords if you want)

Some chimps in swimsuits, some chimps are swinging from a vine
E Asus2
Some chimps in jackboots, some chimps that wish they could be mine.
E Asus2
Starsky and Hutch chimps, a chimp who's sitting on the can
E Asus2
A pair of Dutch chimps who send their love from Amsterdam.

3rd Verse
Esus4
If I had to guess, I'd say the monkey-sender thinks it's great
He's sending me, maybe she's sending me just to see me get irate

I thought it was funny, but now I've got money on a monkey fight.

Some chimps in hard hats, chimps a-working on a chain gang
E Asus2
Some chimps who love cats, burning rubber in a Mustang

A birthday-wishing chimp, a chimp in black like a goth
E Asus2
A goin' fishin' chimp, a British chimp in the bath.

5th Verse
Esus4
Somehow they followed me even though I packed and moved my home
No matter what, they come and they come they won't leave me alone
Esus4
Another monkey in the mail could make me lose my mind
But look at me shuffling through the stack until I finally find

E E
I've got depraved chimps dressed up in women's underwear.
