Monkey
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
