Chorus:
|
I look from behind the bars at the onlookers crowded around, I make faces at them
|
They point their fingers at me and wonder how much we are similar to them.
|
The zoo will close, they will leave, they will clean the cage and give me something to eat
|
As a reward for what I did here today - a monkey's work.
|
Lights will go out everywhere, a neighbor will fall asleep nearby, and here it is the meaning of all our lives with him
|
The sun will rise again, again all day long, we will make our monkey here
|
business. |
Yes!
|
Behind the fence, the city is noisy with motors, traffic lights are blinking, firemen's sirens are yelling,
|
cops and ambulances,
|
Keyboards click, monitors flicker, mountains grow in toxic garbage dumps.
|
I don't care about all this - I eat bananas while you pretend that you are not monkeys.
|
But, but I don’t lie to myself, I don’t even try - I throw the peel on the floor and shit there.
|
Who will say anything on this topic, I don’t care, who needs a photo with a monkey?
|
Come closer!
|
Cameras have not scared me for a long time, I have never been in the jungle and I go there
|
no need!
|
Chorus:
|
I look from behind the bars at the onlookers crowded around, I make faces at them |
They point their fingers at me and wonder how much we are similar to them.
|
The zoo will close, they will leave, they will clean the cage and give me something to eat
|
As a reward for what I did here today - a monkey's work.
|
You think you are free, and I am locked up, the second is true, but the first is a lie.
|
Sorry!
|
You are busy with the same thing from nine to six, for nothing that there is no tail and no muzzle
|
wool.
|
These are details, anyway, not from the category of important ones, your culture is only
|
wrapper paper,
|
No matter how civilized, quiet and homely you are, the stupid monkey is dozing
|
in each
|
But in me she doesn’t sleep and sleeping pills can’t help, turn her down even with clonidine,
|
even chloroform.
|
She is cheerful! |
Like a pioneer at the sound of a bugle! |
Welcome to the show! |
Hello! |
Hello!
|
Bongiorno!
|
Chorus:
|
I look from behind the bars at the onlookers crowded around, I make faces at them
|
They point their fingers at me and wonder how much we are similar to them.
|
The zoo will close, they will leave, they will clean the cage and give me something to eat
|
As a reward for what I did here today - a monkey's work. |
Sometimes I am gloomy - that's bad luck! |
Nobody wants to see a monkey cry.
|
Entrance paid according to the price - let's grimace, come up with funnier grimaces -
|
do not relax!
|
And I understand this scheme, everything seems to be honest - personal problems in the workplace
|
not a place
|
You need to solve them at home, but my problem is that I have no idea where he is
|
house.
|
After all, even if I could straighten the bars in the cage, it would not be clear where later
|
keep my way.
|
Without monkey business, I am neither here nor there, but what is your jungle to me?
|
I have never been there!
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
|

I look from behind the bars at the onlookers crowded around, I make faces at them

The sun will rise again, again all day long, we will make our own here ... |
