The Monkey's Tale

The Monkey's Tale - Dolly Parton

Lyrics by：Leona Reese

Composed by：Leona Reese

Oh the monkey's had a better tale than you

Compared to yours all their chatter sound so true

The way you act it seems to me

That all the monkeys should go free

And you're the one that should be locked up in the zoo

When I married you I thought you were a man

But you're the biggest ape that's living in this land

I'd like to run you up a tree

For the way you lie to me

Your swinging round is getting out of hand

Oh the monkey's had a better tale than you

Compared to yours all their chatter sound so true

The way you act it seems to me

That all the monkeys should go free

And you're the one that should be locked up in the zoo

But every monkey has it's day so go ahead and play

Make your plans and tell your lies and stick to them

But from now on I remind you

You can drag your tail behind you

But you finally got yourself out on a limb

Every monkey has it's day so go ahead and play

Make your plans and tell your lies and stick to them

But from now on I remind you

You can wag your tail behind you

But you finally got yourself out on a limb

Oh the monkey's had a better tale than you
