Me & My Shadow Lyrics - Swing When You're Winning - Robbie Williams

There was me and my monkey 

And with his dungarees and roller blades smoking filter tips 

Reclining in the passenger seat of my super charged jet black Chevrolet 

He had the soft top down, he liked the wind in his face 

He said, "Son, you ever been to Vegas'?" I said "No" 

He said, "That's where we're gonna go, you need a change of pace" 

Oh and we hit the strip with all the wedding chapels and the neon signs 

She said, âE½I left my wallet in El Segondo and proceeded to take two grand of mineâE 

We made tracks to the Mandalay Bay Hotel 

Asked the bell boy, if he'd take me and my monkey as well? 

He looked in the passenger seat of my car and with a smile, he said 

âE½If your monkey's got that kind of money sir, then we've got a monkey bed! âE

Me and my monkey 

With a dream and a gun 

I'm hoping my monkey 

Don't point that gun at anyone 

Me and my monkey 

Like Butch and The Sundance Kid 

Trying to understand 

Why he did, what he did? 

Why he did, what he did? 

We got the elevator, I hit the thirty third floor 

We had a room up top with the panoramic views 

Like nothing you'd ever seen before 

He went to sleep in the bidet and when he awoke 

He ran his little monkey fingers through the yellow pages 

Called up Escort Services and ordered some okey doke 

Forty minutes later, there came a knock at the door 

In walked this big bad ass baboon into my bedroom with three monkey whores 

Hi! my name is Sunshine, these are my girls 

Lace my palm with silver baby, ha ha oh yeah 

And they'll rock your world 

Photos 

So I watched pay per view and polished my shoes and my gun 

Was digging on Kurt Cobain sing about Lithium 

There came a knock at the door and in walked Sunshine 

What's up? 

You'd better get your ass in here boy 

Your monkey's having too much of a good time 

Me and my monkey 

Drove in search of the sun 

Me and my monkey 

Don't point that gun at anyone 

Me and my monkey 

Like Billy The Kid 

Trying to understand 

Why he did, what he did? 

Why he did, what he did? 

Got tickets to see Sheena Easton, the monkey was high 

Said it was a burning ambition to see her before he died 

We left before encores, he couldn't sit still 

Sheena was a blast baby but my monkey was ill 

We went to play Black Jack, kept hitting twenty three 

Couldn't help but notice this Mexican just staring at me 

Or was it my monkey? I couldn't be sure 

It's not like you'd never seen a monkey in roller blades and dungarees 

before 

Now don't test my patience 'cause we're not about to run 

That's a bad ass monkey boy and he's packin' a gun 

"My name is Rodriguez'" he says, with death in his eye 

"I've been chasing you for a long time, amigos 

And now your monkey's gonna die" 

Me and my monkey 

Drove in search of the sun 

Now me and my monkey 

We don't wanna kill no Mexican 

But we got ten itchy fingers 

One thing to declare 

When the monkey is high 

You do not stare 

You do not stare 

You do not stare 

Looks like we got ourselves to Mexican stand off here boy 

Ha 

And I ain't about to run 

Put your gun down boy 

How did I get mixed up with this fuckin' monkey anyhow?
