The Monkey Lyrics


I said, yeah monkeyNow three little monkeys sat on a coconut tree
Discussing things as they are said to be
Said one to the other, now listen you two
There is a certain rumor that can't be trueThat man descended from our noble race
The funny idea is a big disgrace
No monkey ever deserted his wife
Nor her baby and ruin her lifeI said, yeah, monkey speaks his mindAnd another thing you will never see
A monkey build a fence around a coconut tree
And let all the coconuts go to waste
Forbidding all other monkeys to come and taste
Now if I build a fence around this tree
Starvation will cause you to steal from meI said, yeah, the monkey speaks his mindHere is another thing a monkey won't do
Go out at night and get on a stew
Or use a gun a club or a knife
To take another monkey's lifeYes, man descended the worthless bum
But my God brothers, from us he did not comeYeah, the monkey speaks his mind

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Mano Negra was a French/Spanish/Portuguese band fronted by Manu Chao, born in Paris, France to Spanish parents. The band was founded in 1987 by Manu, his brother Antoine, and his cousin Santiago Casiriego. It split circa 1995, but many members had already left in 1992. The band was formed from the fusion of 2 smallers bands, The Hot Pants and the Casse-pieds. Mano Negra mixed a number of styles: straight rock (with a lead guitar), latin music (with a brass section), punk (influenced by The Clash). Their songs often mixed French, Spanish and English lyrics.
