Yeah, the monkey speaks his mind Now, three monkeys sat in a coconut tree
Discussing things as they are said 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
Starved her baby and ruined her life Yeah, the monkey speaks his mind
And you've never known a mother monk To leave the babies with others to bonk
Or pass them on from one to another Till they scarcely knew who was their mother
The monkey speaks his mind
And another thing you will never see A monkey build a fence around a coconut tree
And let other coconuts go to waste Forbidding all other monkeys to come and taste
Why, if I put a 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 stew
Or use a gun or club or knife To take another monkey's life
Yes, man descended the weightless bong But brothers, from us he did not come
Yeah, the monkey speaks his mind
