Monkey Lyrics - Baionarena - Manu Chao

Now three little monkeys sat on a coconut tree 

Discussing things has they are said to be 

Said one to the other, "Now listen you two 

There is a certain rumor that can't be true" 

"That man descended from our noble race 

The funny idea is a big disgrace 

No monkey ever deserted his wife 

Nor her baby and ruin her life" 

I said, "Yeah, 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 all other monkeys to come and taste 

Now if I build a fence around this tree 

Starvation will cause you to steal from me" 

I said, "Yeah, the monkey speaks his mind" 

"Here is another thing a monkey won't do 

Go out at night and get on a stew 

Or use a gun a club or a knife 

To take another monkey's life" 

"Yes, man descended the worthless bum 

But my god, brothers from us he did not come" 

Yeah, the monkey speaks his mind
