Mano Negra - The Monkey lyrics

I said Yeah

Monkey

now three little monkeys sat on a coconut tree

discussing things has they are said to be

said one to the other, now listen you two

there is a certain rumour that cant be true

that man descended from our noble race

the funny idea is a big disgrace

no monkey ever deserted his wife

nor her baby and ruin her life

I said yeah... Monkey speaks 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 waist

forbidding all other monkeys to come and taste

now if i build a fence around this tree

starvation will cause you to steal from me

I said Yea... the monkey speaks his mind

here is another thing a monkey wont do

go out at night and get on a stew

or use a gun a club or a knife

to take another monkey's life

Yes man descended the worthless bum

but my god brothers from us he did not come

Yeah... The monkey speaks his mind
