The Monocle Monkey’s Midnight Masquerade

[Verse] He cracks a grin with a peanut shell snap Under the lamplight his secrets unwrap His bowler hat tilted his monocle gleams The monkey you see isn’t what he seems [Prechorus] By daylight he’s charming A peanut tycoon By moonlight he’s carving his dastardly tune [Chorus] The monocle monkey’s out to play Selling peanuts hides his wicked ways By day he smiles by night he preys Oh beware beware his midnight masquerade [Verse 2] His cane clicks sharp on the cobblestone street Each echo a whisper of whom he’ll meet He hums a waltz as the shadows grow A tune only the wicked would know [Prechorus] His laughter it curls like smoke in the air The monkey’s a menace you best beware [Chorus] The monocle monkey’s out to play Selling peanuts hides his wicked ways By day he smiles by night he preys Oh beware beware his midnight masquerade
