Dave Bartholomew - The Monkey lyrics

Yeah The monkey speaks his mind And three monkeys sat in a coconut tree Discussing things as they are said to be Said one to other now listen, you two "There's a certain rumour that just can't be true That man descended from our noble race Why, the very idea is a big disgrace No monkey ever deserted his wife Starved her baby and ruined her life Yeah The monkey speaks his mind And you've never known a mother monk To leave her babies with others to bunk And pa**ed them on from one to another 'Til 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 a coconut tree And let all the coconuts go to waste Forbidding other monkeys to come and taste Why, if I put a 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 out on a night and get all in a stew Or use a gun or a club or a knife And take another monkey's life Yes, man descended, the worthless bum But, brothers, from us he did not come Yeah The monkey speaks his mind
