Monkey Casino is the name of a Babyshambles track, released as a B Side to Fuck Forever, that is also known under many other, different titles. Usually Doherty would just add a word onto the end of the name "Pipey" ("Pipey Magregor"/"Pipey O'Brady"/"Pipey Magraw"/"Pipey O'Hooley"/"Pipey O'Tootdle" etc.) This track also borrows lyrics from another song recorded by The Libertines, called "Bilo Song." Before the song was recorded and released by Babyshambles, in 2005, it was usually played acoustically by Doherty.
The lyric, "You know that one's too many and a hundred ain't enough" is lifted from the 1945 Billy Wilder film The Lost Weekend, in which the desperate life of an alcoholic is followed through a four day drinking bout. A barman in the film says, "One's too many, and a hundred's not enoug

One's too many and a hundred ain't enough
For Corna baby give me more oh that stuff
Oh baby, oh baby
We had a real good time
Pipey Magraw
Pipey Magraw
Pipey Magraw
Pipey Magraw
I run a monkey casino
I gotta head full of beano
I hear the voices of evil
Telling me to do murder
I got my false feel
I got my false friends
I got my rum deal
I got my slow train
It's coming round the bend
And believe me
You know you wouldn't wanna be me
Nor would you want the shame or the strain of my name
But if I can live my life all over again
There ain't one single thing I'd change
Bilo, they call me Billy Bilo
I'm like a fish on a lilo, I'm all out of place
It's written all over my face
Bilo, some call me blood clot wierdo
Oh they fuck with your mindo
When you do it skag and bone
Bilo, they call me Billy Bilo
Oh they fuck with your mindo
When you do it skag and bone
Pipey Magraw
That's Pipey Magraw
Pipey Magraw
That's Pipey Magraw
One's too many and a hundred ain't enough
For Corna baby give me more oh that stuff
Oh baby, oh baby
We had a real good time
