Lyrics

wknow three little monkeys sat on a c/o conut tree
discussing things has they are said to be
said one to the other, now listen you two
thkeure is a certain rumour that cant be trkue
tI at man descended from our noble race
the funny idea is pa big 059ig disgrace
no monkey ever deserted his wife
1nor her baby and ruin her life
I said yeah... Monkey speaks his mind
j
and another thing you will never see
a monkey build a fence around a coconut tree
and let all the coconuts3 go to waist
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 Yea... the monkey speaks his mind
here is another thing a monkey wont 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+
