歌詞

Yes, we eat no bananas, but we swing from bar to bar.
We don't sail through the treetops. We flying in foreign cars.
And we've got better things to do than to pick each other's fleas
'Cause we're all high class monkeys now since we came down from the trees.
High class monkeys. Such a long hard climbing down.
High class monkeys. Now we're living way uptown.
High class monkeys. You can talk about your roots.
High class monkeys. We got thumbs and tails to boot.
We don't work for peanuts. We're humble but we're proud.
We go down to the bistro with the steak and lobster crowd.
Punch the clock from nine to five but at night do as you please
'Cause we're all high class monkeys now since we came down from the trees.
High class monkeys. Such a long hard climbing down.
High class monkeys. Now we're living way uptown.
High class monkeys. You can talk about your roots.
High class monkeys. We got thumbs and tails to boot.
We don't dance with no tin cup to an organ grinder's tune.
We go down to the disco, do the Bump with big baboons.
We go home with we don't know who. "Have you had a checkup, please?"
'Cause we're all high class monkeys now since we came down from the trees.
High class monkeys. Such a long hard climbing down.
High class monkeys. Now we're living way uptown.
High class monkeys. You can talk about your roots.
High class monkeys. We got thumbs and tails to boot.
Come all endangered species. Listen to these words.
No sympathy have we for fish. Compassion's for the birds.
The whale song pulls our heart strings but it hasn't got a chance.
I give it a fifty-seven 'cause the beat's no good to dance.
We have only one thing, just one thing to fear.
We are all in danger and the danger's very near.
Pogo said it best, I think. He spoke as speak we must when he say
"We have met the enemy, and the enemy is us!"
High class monkeys. Such a long hard climbing down.
High class monkeys. Now we're living way uptown.
High class monkeys. You can talk about your roots.
High class monkeys. We got thumbs,
We got tails,
To boot.
