We are MONK-ees

Here we are,
On a Friday night,
Turn USA on now,
And turn off the light!

Hey, hey we are Monk-ees!
And people say we’ve lost our minds!
But we’re too busy watching
Any episode we find!

We know them all by heart now,
We know them all word for word,
We drink Sierra Springs water,
We’re obsessed - Yeah! - Have you heard?

We are usually friendly
Unless you are a troll or a shill,
Then we’ll just bite your head off,
And watch it roll down the hill!

I know it seems crazy,
Monkisms in our vocabulary
But I better be careful,
It runs in my family!

Hey, hey we are Monk-ees!
You’ll never know where we will be!
Who’d a thought we’d get hooked on
A cop who has OCD?
