The Monkey - Dave Bartholomew[00:00:00]
Yeah the 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[00:00:20]
Said one to other now listen you two[00:00:24]
There's a certain rumour that can't be true[00:00:28]
That man descended from our noble race[00:00:32]
Why the very idea is a big disgrace[00:00:35]
No monkey ever deserted his wife[00:00:40]
Starved her baby and ruined her life[00:00:43]
Yeah the monkey speaks his mind[00:00:46]
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[00:01:02]
Till they scarcely knew who was their mother[00:01:06]
Yeah the monkey speak his mind[00:01:09]
And another thing you will never see[00:01:18]
A monkey build a fence around a coconut tree[00:01:22]
And let all the coconuts go to waste[00:01:27]
Forbidding all other monkeys to come and taste[00:01:30]
Why if I put a fence around this tree[00:01:34]
Starvation would force you to steal from me[00:01:38]
Yeah the monkey speaks his mind[00:01:42]
Here's another thing a monkey won't do[00:01:49]
Go out on a night and get all in a stew[00:01:53]
Or use a gun or a club or a knife[00:01:57]
To take another monkey's life[00:02:01]
Yes man descended the worthless bum[00:02:05]
But brothers from us he did not come[00:02:09]
Yea the monkey speaks his mind[00:02:13]
