Monkey House

I'm living in a monkey house
It's really quite amazing.
Not quiet like a little mouse
It's rather more hair-raising.

The monkeys do what monkeys want
All day and night and then some.

They lured me here with honeyed words:
"Come and be our friend, chum."

So now I sit inside this house
With monkeys all around me.
They won't let me leave and now I think
The monkeys might be tricksy.
