When things go wrong and will not come right,
Though you do the best you can,
When life looks black as the hour of night -
GET A HELPER MONKEY.
When money's tight and hard to get
And your horse has also ran,
When all you have is a heap of debt -
GET A HELPER MONKEY.
When health is bad and your heart feels strange,
And your face is pale and wan,
When doctors say you need a change,
GET A HELPER MONKEY.
When food is scarce and your larder bare
And no rashers grease your pan,
When hunger grows as your meals are rare -
GET A HELPER MONKEY.
In time of trouble and lousey strife,
You have still got a darlint plan
You still can turn to a brighter life -
GET A HELPER MONKEY.
