Strum
D-DU-UDU
Code  Monkey get up get coffee
Code  Monkey go to job
Code  Monkey have boring meeting
With  boring manager Rob
Rob say  Code Monkey  very dilligent
But  his output stink
His code  not “functional”  or “elegant”
What  do Code  Monkey  think?
Code  Monkey think maybe  manager wanna  write god damned login  page himself
 Code Monkey  not say  it out loud
 Code Monkey not crazy,  just proud
Code  Monkey like Fritos
 Code Monkey like Tab  and Mountain Dew
  Amaj7sus2 Amaj7 Amaj7sus2
 Code Monkey very simple man
 With big warm  fuzzy secret  heart:
Code  Monkey like you
 Fill 1:
Code Monkey  hang around  at front desk
Tell  you sweater  look nice
Code Monkey  offer buy  you soda
Bring  you cup,  bring you ice
You  say  no thank  you for the soda cause
Soda make  you fat
Anyway you busy  with the telephone
No  time  for chat
 Code Monkey have long walk back to cubicle, he sit down pretend to work
 Code Monkey not thinking so straight
 Code Monkey not feeling so great
 Code Monkey like Fritos
 Code Monkey like Tab and Mountain Dew
 Code Monkey very simple man
 With big warm fuzzy secret heart:
 Code Monkey like you
 Fill 2:
Code  Monkey like you  a lot
Code  Monkey have every reason
To  get out this place
Code  Monkey just keep on working
See  your soft pretty face
 Much rather wake up, eat a coffee cake
 Take bath, take nap
 This job “fulfilling in creative way”
 Such a load of crap
 Code Monkey think someday he have everything even pretty girl like you
 Code Monkey just waiting for now
 Code Monkey say someday, somehow
 Code Monkey like Fritos
 Code Monkey like Tab and Mountain Dew
 Code Monkey very simple man
 With big warm fuzzy secret heart:
 Code Monkey like you
