It Ain't My Job To Tote Your Monkey
Recorded by Bill Anderson
Written by Bill Anderson, Rex Schnelle, Rivers Rutherford

C                                 F
So the government’s crazy and the weather’s all wrong
    G7                  C
The radio ain’t playing country songs
                        F
Grits won’t cook in the microwave
           D7                     G7
And you’re mad about the price of gas these days

C                              F
You can’t get a signal on your mobile phone
     G7                   C
Your dog ran off and your wife came home
                     F
It all boils down to just one fact
          D7                       G7
There’s a great big monkey hanging on your back

       C
But it ain’t my job (it ain’t my job)
   F
It ain’t my job (it ain’t my job)
G7
Don’t blame me down ‘cause you feel funky
            C      G7        C
It ain’t my job to tote your monkey

                            F
Well it seems every morning about this time
    G7               C
You come in here and start to whine
                                      F
It’s the coffee it’s the car it’s the Coke machine
      D7                   G7
Ain’t you ever happy ‘bout anything

   C
It ain’t my job (it ain’t my job)
   F
It ain’t my job (it ain’t my job)
G7
Don’t blame me ‘cause you feel grumpy
            C      G7        C
It ain’t my job to tote your monkey

             G7
So take your circus and leave this town
  F                 C
I ain’t got time to monkey around
Am               G7
Go tell Dr. Phil what you think
  Am         F           G7
I ain’t your daddy and I ain’t your shrink

       C
And it ain’t my job (it ain’t my job)
   F
It ain’t my job (it ain’t my job)
     G7
Your toast was burned and your eggs were runny 

Last night Letterman wasn’t that funny
 
You smoked up all your drinkin’ money
                C      G7        C
But it ain’t my job to tote your monkey

                              F
Hey boy I’m sorry if all this talk has upset your tummy
G7                     C         G7             C
But it ain’t my job to tote your cotton pickin’ monkey
