The Monkey - Dave Bartholomew/Kay Starr |
| [00:04.56] |
Yeah the monkey speaks his mind |
| [00:16.02] |
Now three monkeys sat in a coconut tree |
| [00:20.84] |
Discussing things as they are said to be |
| [00:24.00] |
Said one to other now listen you two |
| [00:28.09] |
There's a certain rumour that can't be true |
| [00:32.12] |
That man descended from our noble race |
| [00:35.88] |
Why the very idea is a big disgrace |
| [00:40.40] |
No monkey ever deserted his wife |
| [00:43.64] |
Starved her baby and ruined her life |
| [00:46.77] |
Yeah the monkey speaks his mind |
| [00:55.15] |
And you've never known a mother monk |
| [00:59.32] |
To leave the babies with others to bunk |
| [01:02.77] |
And passed them on from one to another |
| [01:06.86] |
Till they scarcely knew who was their mother |
| [01:09.98] |
Yeah the monkey speak his mind |
| [01:18.61] |
And another thing you will never see |
| [01:22.67] |
A monkey build a fence around a coconut tree |
| [01:27.05] |
And let all the coconuts go to waste |
| [01:30.45] |
Forbidding all other monkeys to come and taste |
| [01:34.63] |
Why if I put a fence around this tree |
| [01:38.16] |
Starvation would force you to steal from me |
| [01:42.63] |
Yeah the monkey speaks his mind |
| [01:49.92] |
Here's another thing a monkey won't do |
| [01:53.66] |
Go out on a night and get all in a stew |
| [01:57.72] |
Or use a gun or a club or a knife |
| [02:01.47] |
To take another monkey's life |
| [02:05.56] |
Yes man descended the worthless bum |
| [02:09.27] |
But brothers from us he did not come |
| [02:13.74] |
Yea the monkey speaks his mind |
