Organ grinder's companion? (6)

I believe the answer is:

monkey

(Other definitions for monkey that I've seen before include "Long-tailed primate" , "Naughty child - 500 pounds" , "Small primate" , "Primate; five hundred (slang)" , "Type of wrench for a monkey" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
