Now three little monkeys sat on a coconut tree
Now three little monkeys sat on a coconut tree
Discussing things has they are said to be
Discussing things has they are said to be
Said one to the other, now listen you two
Said one to the other, now listen to you two
There is a certain rumour that can't be true
There is a certain rumor that can't be true
That man descended from our noble race
That man descended from our noble race
The funny idea is a big disgrace
The funny idea is a big disgrace
No monkey ever deserted his wife
No monkey ever deserted his wife
Nor her baby and ruin her life
Nor her baby and ruin her life
I said yeah, monkey speaks his mind
I said yeah, monkey speaks his mind
And another thing you will never see
And another thing you will never see
A monkey build a fence around a coconut tree
A monkey build a fence around a coconut tree
And let all the coconuts go to waist
And let all the coconuts go to waist
Forbidding all other monkeys to come and taste
Forbidding all other monkeys to eat and taste
Now if I build a fence around this tree
Now if I build a fence around this tree
Starvation will cause you to steal from me
Starvation will cause you to steal from me
I said the monkey speaks his mind
I said the monkey speaks his mind
Here is another thing a monkey won't do
Here is another thing a monkey won't do
Go out at night and get on a stew
Go out at night and get on a stew
Or use a gun a club or a knife
Or use a gun, a club or a knife
To take another monkey's life
To take another monkey's life
Yes man descended the worthless bum
Yes man descended the worthless bum
But my god brothers from us he did not come
But my god brothers from us he did not come
Yeah, the monkey speaks his mind
Yeah, the monkey speaks his mind
