Lyrics

Yeah, the monkey speaks his mind
 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 [Incomprehensible]
 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 [Incomprehensible]
 Use a gun, a club or knife
 To take another monkey's life
 Yeah, man descended [Incomprehensible]
 But brothers from us, he did not come
 Yeah, the monkey speaks his mind
