Leave My Monkey Alone Lyrics - Zevon Warren

Mzungu Arudi Ulaya Mwa Frika Apate Uhuru 

(Whites go back to Europe Freedom for Africa) 

Leave My Monkey Alone 

Leave My Monkey Alone 

Leave My Monkey Alone 

Leave My Monkey Alone 

Down in Kenya where the Masai roam 

And the grass grows tall on the veldt 

In our old colonial home 

We drank our bitters while the empire fell 

Leave My Monkey Alone 

One day the Mau Mau came 

All we had was lost 

In our old colonial home 

Under the Southern Cross 

Leave My Monkey Alone 

Down in Kenya where the Masai roam 

And the grass grows tall on the veldt 

In our old colonial home 

We drank our bitters while the empire fell 

Leave My Monkey Alone 

the Mau Mau came in '52 

The sun went down and we drew the drapes 

In our old colonial home 

We hid behind the Mau Mau gates 

Leave My Monkey Alone
