The Monkey

I said, yeah monkey Now three little monkeys sat on a coconut tree Discussing things as they are said to be Said one to the other, now listen you two There is a certain rumor 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 waste 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, yeah, 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
