Monkey Nuts - Rick Wakeman

Buy a good clean living aid

By climbing through my cage

I’ve got used to living life

As if I was on stage

People like to look at me

I score with old and young

I must fight a very handsome battle

And go home

Bars are all that separate me from the human ape

Otherwise we’re just the same

Why bother to escape

They have all the nasty habits

None of us display

Which of us has got it right

It’s not for me to say

I could out-stare anyone

Who comes to stare at me

I could show them weird things

They didn’t come to see

Drawing crowds in minutes then

With one repulsive move

Make them scatter

Rush for exits

Then you learn the truth

Who’s on the outside

Who’s looking in

Who will come from who

Who is origin

When the line is drawn

When the tale is just

Who is the primate

Who is monkey nuts

I say…

That spotty little thing’s just taken my banana
