The Monkey

Yeah (Yeah)
The monkey speaks his mind
Three monkeys sat in a coconut tree
Discussing things as they are said to be
Said one to the other, "Now, listen, you too
There's a certain rumor, it just can't be true
The man descended from our noble race
What a bad idea, it's a big disgrace
No monkey ever deserted his wife
Starved her baby and ruined her life"
Yeah (Yeah)
The monkey speaks his mind
Here's another thing that you'll never see
A monkey built a fence around a coconut tree
Bidding all the other monkeys to come and taste
Let all those coconuts go to waste
Why, if I build a fence around this tree
Starvation will cause you to steal from me
Yeah (Yeah)
The monkey speaks his mind
Yeah (Yeah)
Here's another thing that a monkey won't do
Go out at night and get all in a stew
And use a club or a gun or a knife
And take another m-m-monkey's life
Yes, man descended the worthless farm
But from his promise, he did not come
Yeah (Yeah)
The monkey speaks his mind
Yeah (Yeah)
Yeah
Music-wise, it's okay, but we're gonna
Lose the groove, we're gonna lose the song
Puttin' that in, da-da-da-da-da
