The Monkey

The Monkey - Dave Bartholomew

Yeah the monkey speaks his mind

Now three monkey sittin' in a coconut tree

Discussin' things as they all say it 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

Stop her baby

And ruin her life

Yeah the monkey speaks his mind

Ain't you never know a mother monk

To leave thier babes with others to bonk

Pass them on from one to another

Until they scarcely knew who was their mother

Yeah the monkey speaks his mind

And another thing you will never see

A monkey build a fence around the coconut tree

And let another coconuts go to waste

Forbidden all other monkeys to come and taste

What if I put up fence around this tree

Starvation would force you to steal from me

Yeah the monkey speaks his mind

Here's another thing a monkey won't do

Go on his life

And get on the stu

Use a gun a club or knife

To take another monkey's life

Yes man decend the way less gone

My brothers from us he did not come

Yeah the monkey speaks his mind
