Mr. Monk has a problem;
He can't stop cleaning things-
He's afraid of germs and diseases-
And all the trouble they bring-
But Monk can see what others can't-
His mind is sharp as a knife-
But the hindrance of his mental state-
Affects his professional life-
Mr. Monk is a detective-
His wife died in a case-
The loss has caused him to go nutty-
And he was unable to save face-
Now he works as an investigator-
But solves crimes as he goes-
His skills are extraordinary-
But his craziness brings him woes-
He's become obsessive-compulsive-
He can't just let things stay-
He washes his hands five or six times-
He cleans his house ten times a day-
Yet through this all, he's one of the best-
And everyone can say-
That though Monk has his problems-
He always saves the day.
