The Monkey |
| Now three little monkeys sat on a coconut tree |
| Discussing things has they are said to be |
| Said one to the other, now listen you two |
| There is a certain rumour that can’t be true |
| That man descended from our noble race |
| The funny idea is a big disgrace |
| No monkey ever deserted his wife |
| Nor her baby and ruin her life |
| I said yeah… Monkey speaks his mind |
| And another thing you will never see |
| A monkey build a fence around a coconut tree |
| And let all the coconuts go to waist |
| Forbidding all other monkeys to come and taste |
| Now if i build a fence around this tree |
| Starvation will cause you to steal from me |
| I said Yea… the monkey speaks his mind |
| Here is another thing a monkey won’t do |
| Go out at night and get on a stew |
| Or use a gun a club or a knife |
| To take another monkey’s life |
| Yes man descended the worthless bum |
| But my god brothers from us he did not come |
| Yeah… The monkey speaks his mind |
