Ballad of Monkey Boy

Just thinking about how sometimes the person that is there for everybody else often times has nobody there for them when they need it.

"Make us laugh, monkey boy."
“Play your guitar for us, monkey boy.”
“Let me cry on your shoulder, monkey boy.”
“Sing for us, monkey boy.”
“Dance that funny dance, monkey boy.”
“Oh, you’re sad and lonely, monkey boy?”
“Get away from us. We can’t use that, monkey boy.”

I’m tired of being monkey boy…
