The Monkey - Dave Bartholomew[00:00:00]

Yeah now monkey speaks his mind[00:00:04]

Now three monkeys sat in a coconut tree[00:00:16]

Discussing things as they are said to be[00:00:21]

Said one to other now listen you two[00:00:24]

There's a certain rumour[00:00:28]

That can't be true[00:00:30]

That man descended from our noble race[00:00:32]

The very idea is a big disgrace[00:00:36]

No monkey ever deserted his wife[00:00:40]

Starved her baby and ruined her life[00:00:44]

Yeah the monkey speaks his mind[00:00:47]

And you've never known a mother monk[00:00:55]

To leave the babies with others to bunk[00:00:59]

And passed them on from one to another[00:01:03]

Till they scarcely knew[00:01:07]

Who was their mother[00:01:09]

Yeah the monkey speaks his mind[00:01:11]

And another thing you will never see[00:01:19]

A monkey build a fence[00:01:23]

Around a coconut tree[00:01:24]

And let all the coconuts go to waste[00:01:27]

Forbidding other monkeys[00:01:30]

To come and taste[00:01:33]

Why if I put a fence around this tree[00:01:35]

Starvation would force you[00:01:38]

To steal from me[00:01:41]

Yeah the monkey speaks his mind[00:01:43]

Here's another thing a monkey won't do[00:01:50]

Go out on a night and get all in a stew[00:01:54]

Or use a gun or a club or a knife[00:01:58]

To take another monkey's life[00:02:02]

Yes man descended the worthless bum[00:02:06]

But brothers from us he did not come[00:02:09]

Yeah the monkey speaks his mind[00:02:14]
