Dr. John - The Monkey lyrics

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 Starve a baby [?] Yeah, the monkey speaks his mind Ain't you never know a mother monk To leave her babes with others to bonk Pa** 'em on from one to another 'Til they scarcely knew who was their mother Yeah, the monkey speaks his mind And another thing you never see I monkey build a fence around the coconut tree And let another coconuts go to waste Forbidden all the 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 out at night and get on a [?] Use a gun, a club or knife To take another monkey's life Yeah, man descended [?] But brothers from us, he did not come Yeah, the monkey speaks his mind
