Lyrics

Hi, my name is René Laloux
And I'm gonna sing a song for you about love
And how love can tear you apart
It was a night like any other in this town
I took a bus to take a look around
I wanted romance, I wanted someone just like you
But you were locked up in Bristol Zoo
It was the summer, maybe back a year or two
On my first daytrip to the zoo
That's when I saw you
I caught your brown eyes watching mine
My heart lit up at feeding time
I knew from that moment onwards you had to be mine
I made a vow to set you free
Together we could live in the forest of Dean
Eating berries and kissing each other
(Forest of Dean)
It wasn't natural, I knew this much, it was so true
I had to love you, I had to hold you in my arms
But we were parted by bars
So I stuck round, waited 'til the dead of night
I climbed the enclosure with you
I put a wig on your head to make you look so nice
I bought a dress and high heels too
We had a meal, fresh fruit by candlelight
And then we made love 'til two
I loved a monkey
I loved a monkey
I loved a monkey
I loved a monkey
You see, there's someone special in my life
Someone I hold very close to my heart
But we can never be together in a crazy world like this
Because the one in my dreams just happens to be a monkey
Locked up in Bristol Zoo
We made a dummy from boxes and banana skins
And told the keeper it was you
We walked away hand in hand across the park
And then went back home just to screw
I loved a monkey
I loved a monkey
I loved a monkey
I loved a monkey
Finally, me and Jolene were together
For the first time in months, she finally saw the outside world
She saw beautiful people, beautiful places
But she saw my love in its physical form
Which she enjoyed the most
Until the authorities came and took her away
And I got given that injection to stop me getting rabies
I love her and I still think about her
Maybe somewhere out there, she's listening
