The Monkey

Yeah The monkey speaks his mind Now three monkeys sat in a coconut tree Discussing things as they are said to be Said one to the other, "Now listen you two There's a certain rumor that can't be true That man descended our noble race Why the very idea is a big disgrace No monkey ever deserted his wife Nor her baby and ruined her life" Yeah The monkey speaks his mind And you'll never see a mother monk Feed the babies what others do bunk And pass them on from one to another Till they scarcely knew who was their mother Yeah The monkey speaks his mind Here's another thing you will never see A monkey build a fence around a coconut tree And let the coconuts go to waste Forbidding all the monkeys to come and taste "Why have I built a 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 all in a stew And pick up a gun, a club, a knife And take another monkey's life Now man descended, the weightless bum From our race brothers he did not come Yeah The monkey speaks his mind
