letra de the monkey - elvis costello & the imposters

Loading...

[chorus]
the monkey speaks his mind

[verse 1]
now 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 rumour that just can’t be true
that man descended from our n-ble race
why, the very idea is a big disgrace
yeah
no monkey ever deserted his wife
starved her baby and ruined her life

[chorus]
yeah
the monkey speaks his mind

[verse 2]
and you’ve never known a mother monk
to leave her babies with others to bunk
and p-ss them on from one to another
’til they scarcely knew which was their mother

[chorus]
yeah
the monkey speaks his mind

[verse 3]
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

[chorus]
yeah
the monkey speaks his mind

[verse 4]
here’s another thing that 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 b-m
but, brothers, from us he did not come

[chorus]
yeah
the monkey speaks his mind

yeah
now the monkey speaks his mind
