《The Monkey》歌词

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

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

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

[00:00:20] Discussing things as they are said to be

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

[00:00:28] There's a certain rumour that can't be true

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

[00:00:35] Why the very idea is a big disgrace

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

[00:00:43] Starved her baby and ruined her life

[00:00:46] Yeah the monkey speaks his mind

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

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

[00:01:02] And passed them on from one to another

[00:01:06] Till they scarcely knew who was their mother

[00:01:09] Yeah the monkey speak his mind

[00:01:18] And another thing you will never see

[00:01:22] A monkey build a fence around a coconut tree

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

[00:01:30] Forbidding all other monkeys to come and taste

[00:01:34] Why if I put a fence around this tree

[00:01:38] Starvation would force you to steal from me

[00:01:42] Yeah the monkey speaks his mind

[00:01:49] Here's another thing a monkey won't do

[00:01:53] Go out on a night and get all in a stew

[00:01:57] Or use a gun or a club or a knife

[00:02:01] To take another monkey's life

[00:02:05] Yes man descended the worthless bum

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

[00:02:13] Yea the monkey speaks his mind
