[00:00.00]Act two of The Drowsy Chaperone begins with this：
[00:05.76]A hunting lament of a very depressed bride
[00:08.70]
[00:09.42]Now when you are listening to this um try to ignore the lyrics
[00:13.41]
[00:14.16]I know it will be difficult but block them out there not the best
[00:16.83]But the tune is beautiful and it truly communicates the brides state of mind
[00:20.70]
[00:21.66]Just ignore the lyrics
[00:22.74]
[00:27.57]I put a monkey on a pedestal
[00:31.92]
[00:32.97]And tried to make that monkey stay
[00:36.63]
[00:38.01]And he did for a time
[00:40.44]But he needed to climb
[00:42.78]And with other monkeys play
[00:46.41]Far away
[00:47.91]
[00:49.02]He left his jacket on the pedestal
[00:53.07]
[00:54.06]Beside his tiny rusty cup
[00:57.48]
[00:59.07]And I havent got the strength
[01:02.40]To pick them up
[01:04.17]
[01:06.72]Oh monkey monkey monkey
[01:09.51]
[01:10.02]You broke my heart in two
[01:13.35]
[01:15.21]But I'll always save that pedestal
[01:18.63]
[01:20.82]For you
[01:23.43]
[01:24.57]Come my little monkey
[01:26.55]
[01:27.27]Come my little monkey do
[01:34.17]
[01:34.86]The melody is so simple
[01:36.00]It just floats in the air
[01:37.47]
[01:38.49]And I must confess
[01:39.54]I always get a little misty
[01:40.95]When I think of that
[01:41.67]Tiny jacket laying there on that pedestal
[01:43.83]
[01:44.64]Its long sleeves dangling on the floor
[01:46.98]
[01:49.65]Oh monkey monkey monkey
[01:52.89]You broke my heart in two
[01:55.44]
[01:58.71]But I'll always save that pedestal
[02:02.01]
[02:03.24]Pedestal
[02:04.83]For you
[02:06.09]
[02:08.55]Come my little monkey
[02:11.49]Come my little monkey do
