Leave my monkey alone
Leave my monkey alone
Leave my monkey alone
Leave my monkey aloneDown in Kenya where the Masai roam
And the grass grows tall on the veld
In our old colonial home
We drank our bitters while the empire fellLeave my monkey alone
Leave my monkey alone
Leave my monkey alone
Leave my monkey aloneOne day the Mau Mau came
All we had was lost
In our old colonial home
Under the southern crossLeave my monkey alone
Leave my monkey alone
Leave my monkey alone
Leave my monkey aloneDown in Kenya where the Masai roam
And the grass grows tall on the veld
In our old colonial home
We drank our bitters while the empire fellLeave my monkey alone
Leave my monkey alone
Leave my monkey alone
Leave my monkey aloneThe Mau Mau came in '52
The sun went down and we drew the drapes
In our old colonial home
We hid behind the Mau Mau gatesLeave my monkey alone
Leave my monkey alone
Leave my monkey alone
Leave my monkey alone[Incomprehensible]Leave my monkey alone
Leave my monkey alone
Leave my monkey alone
Leave my monkey aloneLeave my monkey alone
Leave my monkey alone
Leave my monkey alone
Leave my monkey alone[Incomprehensible]
