Monkeys on the Moon

The archangel's sleeping
The devil is weeping
The heavenly host
Is white as a ghost

The old man himself
Is mad as a loon
'Cause all his kids are singing a tune
Look out pa
There's monkeys on the moon

Monkeys on the moon
Monkeys on the moon
See how they bounce from dune to dune
Came a long way in a gold cocoon
All the way from a green balloon
Just to plant flags for the big baboon
Look out pa
There's monkeys on the moon

Saturn is blinking
Jupiter's winking
And old Sol's thinking
His system is sinking
But who's to say if it's bad or a boon
When all the kids are singing a tune
Look out pa
There's monkeys on the moon

Used to be so peaceful in space
Now there's hot-rods all over the place
And old Lady Moon
In her silvery grace
Now has these words tattooed on her face
Better get ready
It's comin' soon
Look out pa
There's monkeys on the moon

Long time from now
In a place very far
In the court of a castle on a star
A mad jester tunes
His fiery guitar
And with a grin he says to the Czar
I'm gonna sing you an ancient tune
Look out pa
There's monkeys on the moon

Monkeys on the moon
Monkeys on the moon
See how they bounce from dune to dune
Came a long way in a gold cocoon
All the way from a green balloon
Just to plant flags for the big baboon
Look out pa
There's monkeys on the moon
Look out pa
There's monkeys on the moon
