 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.

 ---------
 

                E                          Asus2               
 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.
 
 Chorus

         E             Asus2  Bsus4 Asus2 
 Another postcard with chimpanzees
           E         Asus2     Bsus4 Asus2 
 And every one is addressed to me.
        E             Asus2  Bsus4 Asus2 
 Another postcard with chimpanzees
           E         Asus2     Bsus4 Asus2 
 And every one is addressed to me.

             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
            Esus4                                            
 I'm losing sleep - and it's gonna be keeping me up all night
 
 I thought it was funny, but now I've got money on a monkey fight.
 
 4th Verse (you can choose to palm mute those chords if you want)

 ---------
 

                E                           Asus2          
 Some chimps in hard hats, chimps a-working on a chain gang
                 E                         Asus2       
 Some chimps who love cats, burning rubber in a Mustang
            E                         Asus2            
 A birthday-wishing chimp, a chimp in black like a goth
         E                        Asus2             
 A goin' fishin' chimp, a British chimp in the bath.
 
 Chorus

         E             Asus2  Bsus4 Asus2 
 Another postcard with chimpanzees

 And every one is addressed to me.
        E             Asus2  Bsus4 Asus2 
 Another postcard with chimpanzees
           E         Asus2     Bsus4 Asus2 
 And every one is addressed to me.

              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
