Three monkeys sat in a coconut tree
Discussing things as they are said to be
Said one to the other, now listen you two,
There's a rumor around that can't be true
That man has descended from our noble race
The very idea is a great disgrace
No monkey has ever deserted his wife
Starved her babies and ruined her life
And you've never known a mother monk
To leave her babies with others to bunk
Or pass from one on to another
Till they scarcely know who is their mother
Here's another thing a monkey won't do
Go out at night and get on a stew
Or use a gun or club or knife
To take some other monkey's life
Yes, man descended, the onery cuss
But brother, he didn't descend from us.
great tune from the late 50's...sparse and eerie with an early reggae feel
