Big Fat Stella
and her crazy mother
I'd rather be a monkey
hanging from a tree
than to be a part
of that funny family
I went home
and then I went to bed
saw her ugly face
in the night
searching for a place
where I might be free
But Big Fat Stella
kept reaching out for me
With that bull-legged sister
her cross-eyed brother
that tongue-tied daddy
and her crazy mother
I'd rather be a monkey
hanging from a tree
than to be a part
of that funny family
I'd rather be a monkey
hanging from a tree


I went home


I'd get away
I headed for the coal-clon dive
When I got there
well, what did I say?
Big Fat Stella
was waiting there for me
With that bull-legged sister
her cross-eyed brother
that tongue-tied daddy
and her crazy mother
I'd rather be a monkey
swinging from a tree
than to be a part
of that funny family
I'd rather be a monkey

than to be a part
