Lyrics
Yeah (Yeah)
The monkey speaks his mind
Now three monkeys sat in a coconut tree
Discussing things that they all said to be
Said one to the other, "Now listen you two
There's a certain rumor that can't be true
That man descended from our noble race
Why the very idea is a big disgrace
Why no monkey ever deserted his wife
Fathered a baby and ruined her life"
Yeah (Yeah)
The monkey speaks his mind
Here's another thing you'll never see
A monkey build a fence around a coconut tree
And allow all the other coconuts to go to waste
For big, tall monkeys to come and taste
Why if I build a fence around this tree
Some Asian will force you, you and you to steal from me
Yeah (Yeah)
The monkey speaks his mind
Here's another thing a monkey won't do
Go out on a Saturday night and get on a stew
Or use a club, gun or knife
To take another monkey's life
Yes, man descended to witless bum
But brothers and sisters, from us he did not come
Yeah (Yeah)
The monkey speaks his mind
The monkey speaks his mind
Now three monkeys sat in a coconut tree
Discussing things that they all said to be
Said one to the other, "Now listen you two
There's a certain rumor that can't be true
That man descended from our noble race
Why the very idea is a big disgrace
Why no monkey ever deserted his wife
Fathered a baby and ruined her life"
Yeah (Yeah)
The monkey speaks his mind
Here's another thing you'll never see
A monkey build a fence around a coconut tree
And allow all the other coconuts to go to waste
For big, tall monkeys to come and taste
Why if I build a fence around this tree
Some Asian will force you, you and you to steal from me
Yeah (Yeah)
The monkey speaks his mind
Here's another thing a monkey won't do
Go out on a Saturday night and get on a stew
Or use a club, gun or knife
To take another monkey's life
Yes, man descended to witless bum
But brothers and sisters, from us he did not come
Yeah (Yeah)
The monkey speaks his mind
