Lyrics

Yeah
 The monkey speaks his mind
 ♪
 And 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 noble race
 Why, 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 her babies with others to bunk
 And passed them on from one to another
 'Til they scarcely knew who was their mother
 Yeah
 the 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 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
 Yeah
 the monkey speaks his mind
 Here's another thing 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 bum
 But, brothers, from us he did not come
 Yeah
 the monkey speaks his mind
