The Monkey |
Now, three monkey sittin' in a coconut tree |
Discussin' things as they all say it to be |
Said one to the other, now, listen you two |
There’s a certain rumor that can’t be true |
That man descended from our noble race |
The very idea is a big disgrace |
No monkey ever deserted his wife |
Starve a baby |
Yeah, the monkey speaks his mind |
Ain’t you never know a mother monk |
To leave her babes with others to bonk |
Pass 'em on from one to another |
'Til they scarcely knew who was their mother |
Yeah, the monkey speaks his mind |
And another thing you never see |
I monkey build a fence around the coconut tree |
And let another coconuts go to waste |
Forbidden all the other monkeys to come and taste |
What if I put up fence around this tree |
Starvation would force you to steal from me |
Yeah, the monkey speaks his mind |
Here’s another thing a monkey won’t do |
Go out at night and get on a |
Use a gun, a club or knife |
To take another monkey’s life |
Yeah, man descended |
But brothers from us, he did not come |
Yeah, the monkey speaks his mind |
