John Humphrey - Monkey's Uncle Lyrics

Well he stands about yay big
With a grin from ear to ear
And when he comes runnin' at me
I cower in abject fear
Cause he kicks me in the shins
And climbs me like a tree
But I'm not s'posed to mind
Cause he's in the family
He jumps up on my knee
And asks me for a bounce
And if I'm not too careful
He'll kick me where it counts
I'm his pony, his spaceship
His pirate ship at sea
Oh look what that little man has made of me
Yes I'll be a monkey's uncle
I'll be the best he ever had
I'll be a monkey's uncle
'Cause I'm the brother of that little monkey's Dad
He pretends he's asleep
But when I turn my back
He'll creep out of his bed
And launch a sneak attack
He grabs me by the ankles
And drops me to the floor
But I guess in the end that's what an uncle's for
Yes I'll be a monkey's uncle
I'll be the best he ever had
I'll be a monkey's uncle
'Cause I'm the brother of that little monkey's Dad
And when I'm old and gray, and it won't be long
I'll be weak and feeble, he'll be young and strong
I'll dribble down my chin, and smile a toothless grin
And remind him of the days when I did for him
Yes someday I will get even for these bruises and carbuncles
But for now I'm just so glad to be that little monkey's uncle
He's always asking questions about the dinosaurs
And when it's pouring rain out
He wants to play outdoors
That's him the little caveman
With the slingshot taking aim
At the aging Brontosaurus
Getting wet out in the rain
Well I'll be a monkey's uncle
I'll be the best he ever had
I'll be a monkey's uncle
'Cause I'm the brother of that little monkey's Dad
