Liner Notes

Recently, during a burst of home repairs, I scraped up my elbow. With all the gauze and tape on it, I found it difficult to be at my desk making songs without putting my elbow on the workstation. My wife kindly gave me a "Beanie Baby" monkey to put my elbow on.

Lyrics

My elbow's on the monkey
It sure feels best that way
I'd rather not move it now
There's nothing more to say
Sun is shining brightly
The monkey starts to sway
Life is slow and easy
Right here on Banana Way

My elbow's on the monkey
That's the way I groove
My elbow's on the monkey
It’s the move I choose

Life's so very simple
On this jungle ride
Lazy days and laughter
A monkey by your side
Friends all gather 'round me
Curious eyes they play
They want to try this feeling
But I just laugh and say

My elbow's on the monkey
That's the way I groove
My elbow's on the monkey
It’s the move I choose

So if you ever listen
To the call of the wild
Put your elbow on the monkey
And you'll be reconciled
Put your elbow on the monkey
And you'll be reconciled
Put your elbow on the monkey
And you'll be reconciled
