Legend of Monkeyman

The legend of Monkeyman was told by Gerald in the episode "Monkeyman!". Notably, this is the only urban legend told in rhyme.

Gerald

How many times have we awakened to the frightful cry —

Monkeyman!

How many times have we seen him with the corner of our eye

Never stopping, always speeding by

A flash of his cape, down the alleys he streaks

Scampering up fire escapes like a freaked-out chimpanzee

Monkeyman!

Some say he's a force for good

A twisted urban Robin Hood

Defending the weak and downtrodden

Some say he's a force for bad

A tricky and conniving cad

Forlorn and just plain rotten

Still others say he's some guy in pajamas

Living on stolen bananas

Who knows? No one's ever talked to him

But if you find yourself in the heart of downtown

Keep looking around

Because you just might run into him...

Monkeyman!
