The phrase refers to a woman selling sex. "She wants to sell your monkey" would mean, your woman wants to prostitute herself. In the 1942 Tampa Red song, Red sings "Me and my woman been falling out... she wants to sell my monkey" and "It used to be hers but she gave it to me..." the it refered to clearly being his girlfriends vagina. "She wants to sell my monkey but that would never do.". It's Blues Music and in Blues lyrics any reference to animals (sell my monkey) or food (squeeze my lemon) is often a substitute for sex or a sexual act
