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 |
