The Monkey Speaks His Mind ("Noah's Ark") - Dave Bartholomew

Now, three monkey sittin' in a coconut tree

Discussin' things as they all say it to be

Said one to the other, now, listen you two

There’s a certain rumor that can’t be true

That man descended from our noble race

The very idea is a big disgrace

No monkey ever deserted his wife

Starve a baby

Yeah, the monkey speaks his mind

Ain’t you never know a mother monk

To leave her babes with others to bonk

Pass 'em on from one to another

'Til they scarcely knew who was their mother

Yeah, the monkey speaks his mind

And another thing you never see

I monkey build a fence around the coconut tree

And let another coconuts go to waste

Forbidden all the other monkeys to come and taste

What if I put up fence around this tree

Starvation would force you to steal from me

Yeah, the monkey speaks his mind

Here’s another thing a monkey won’t do

Go out at night and get on a

Use a gun, a club or knife

To take another monkey’s life

Yeah, man descended

But brothers from us, he did not come

Yeah, the monkey speaks his mind
