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 rumor 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 waste
And let all the coconuts go to waste
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 mes
Starvation will cause you to steal from month
I said, 'Yeah, the monkey speaks his mind'
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
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'

'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
