Now three little monkeys sat on a coconut tree
Discussing things has they are said to be
Said one to the other, 'Now listen you two
There is a certain rumor that can't be true'

'That 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 life'

I said, 'Yeah, monkey speaks his mind'

'And 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 me'

I said, 'Yeah, the monkey speaks his mind'

'Here 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 life'

'Yes, man descended the worthless bum
But my god, brothers from us he did not come'

Yeah, the monkey speaks his mind
