The Monkey
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 rumor that just can't be true That man descended from our noble race Why, the very idea is a big disgrace, yea"No monkey ever deserted his wife Starved her baby and ruined her life Yea, the monkey speaks his mind And you've never known a mother monk To leave her babies with others to bunk And passed them on from one to another 'Til they scarcely knew which was their mother Yea, the monkey speak 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 Letras de cancionesYea, 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 Yea, the monkey speaks his mind Yea, now the monkey speaks his mind From Letras Mania
