Christine Lavin As We Stumble Along Lyrics

Monkey? Monkey?
Where's my monkey?
Monkey?
Come here, monkey

Oh, monkey, monkey, monkey
You broke my heart in two
But I'll always save that pedestal
Who's my little monkey?
Me, I'm your little monkey
For you
As we stumble along
On life's funny journey
As we stumble along
Into the blue

We look here and we look there
Seeking answers anywhere
Never sure of where to turn or what to do

Still we bumble our way
Through life's crazy labyrinth
Barely knowing left from right
Nor right from wrong
And the best that we can do
Is hope a bluebird
Will sing his song
As we stumble along

It's a dismal little world in which we live
It can bore ya 'til there's nothing left to give Seven overrated wonders
Seven underwhelming seas
Six excruciating continents
Antarctica, oh, please!

Still, you mustn't let it lick you
This planet oh so bland
Keep your eyeball on the highball
In your hand
As we stumble along
Cross life's crowded dance floors
As we push and we shove
We live and we learn

And when we fin'lly leave the bar
And we see that morning star
We pull our boot straps up and homeward turn
Then we stumble away
Through dawn's blinding sun beams
Barely knowing right from right
Nor left from wrong

But as long as we can hear
That little bluebird
There'll be a song
As we stumble along

As we stumble, bumble, fumble...
Plumble
As we stumble along
