the monkey jumped up on the fence
he took the peanut from my dad
but it was just a shell .. he got mad as hell
dad was just playin’ with him
 
i felt bad for the monkey
i always felt bad for that monkey
 
the monkey just sat on the floor
he looked at the four of us
didn’t want no more of us
didn’t want to be fooled again
didn’t want to be played with
 
i felt bad for the monkey
i always felt bad for that monkey
 
felt like throwin’ him a real one to him
to make him my friend
but i didn’t... so the story ends
oh... I lied about that!
 
be friends with the monkey - be friends with the dog
be friends with the horses - and the little bitty frog
be friends with the birds and the trees
be friends with the monkeys
