Jonathan Coulton - Monkey Shines - ASL Song

Jonathan Coulton's "Monkey Shines," theme song for the little-known 1980's sitcom cancelled during its first commercial break. Lyrics/translation below. Thanks to monketeer Kevin Saunders and his partner, Floppy Monkey. They make the world a better place. Enjoy!

When it gets bad do you believe it will get better?
IF YOUR LIFE GET-WORSE, YOU THINK FUTURE IMPROVE?
Can you forgive a big mistake?
YOUR MISTAKE YOU FORGIVE?
Is it really living if youre living by the letter?
YOUR LIFE SAME-AS-ALL, WORTH WHAT?
How many monkeys does it take to change a lifetime?
HOW-MANY MONKEY ENOUGH, YOUR LIFE CHANGE?

JoCo
{KEVIN} [JOCO]
Your monkey got a second chance he thinks hell take it
YOUR MONKEY HE CAN TRY AGAIN, HE DO THAT
JoCo
{KEVIN} [JOCO]
Your monkey knows that life is only what you make it
YOUR MONKEY HE KNOW LIFE YOU CONTROL
And once you learn how to love, its time to let it show
YOU LEARN HOW LOVE, YOU SHOW-ALL
Theres monkey shines wherever you go.
MONKEY MISCHIEF YOU FIND, GO+++
