Leave My Monkey Alone

Leave my monkey alone
Down in Kenya where the masai room
And the grass grows tall on the veldt
In our old colonial home
We drank our bitters while the empire fell
Leave my monkey alone

One day the mau mau came
All we had was lost
In our old colonial home
Under the southern 'cross
Leave my monkey alone

Down in Kenya where the masai room
And the grass grows tall on the veldt
In our old colonial home
We drank our bitters while the empire fell
Leave my monkey alone

The mau mau came in fifty two
The sun went down and we drew the drapes
In our old colonial home
We hid behind the mau mau gates
Leave my monkey alone

Om kalo oh lay oh lay
Madrika
Madrika va toco
Leave my monkey alone
Leave my monkey alone madrika
Leave my monkey alone
Oh madri
Ohh derika derika
Madrika madrika madaco
