Letra

[Verse 1]
Yeah, the monkey speaks his mind
[Verse 2]
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 from our noble race
The very idea is a big disgrace
No monkey ever deserted his wife
Starved her baby and ruined her life"
[Verse 3]
Yeah, the monkey speaks his mind
[Verse 4]
"And you've never known a mother monk'
To leave the babies with others to bunk
Or passed them on from one to another
Till they scarcely knew who was their mother"
[Verse 5]
Yeah, the monkey speaks his mind
[Verse 6]
"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 other monkeys to come and taste
Why, if I put a fence around this tree
Starvation would force you to steal from me"
[Verse 7]
Yeah, the monkey speaks his mind
[Verse 8]
"Here's another thing a monkey won't do
Go out at night and get all in a stew
Or use a gun, or a club, or a knife
To take another monkey's life
Yes, man descended, the worthless bum
But, brothers, from us he did not come"
[Verse 9]
Yeah, the monkey speaks his mind
