lyrics

Monkey Song

To catch the monkey the man made a hole
And then he tried to see where the monkey would be
We got the money to give it to the monkey
Who keeps it for a rainy day
We take our time to try and fit the rhyme
And then we sing the night away

So live your life without regret
Live your life, and don’t forget
Everything that happens, does so for a reason
Take it easy
Take it easy

The time we take to make up our mind
Is like waiting for a monkey line
The more we wait the love turns to hate
We look for more – what are we looking for?
So bring back the monkey, give back the money
You can keep the girl

So live your life without regret
Live your life, and don’t forget
Everything that happens, does so for a reason
Take it easy
Take it easy

To learn to fly the bird had to try
Not to fall through the sky
He caught the wind – spread out his wings
And watched the world pass by
The world is mine I have all the time
The oyster is about to shine

He saw the man who dug the hole
He saw the girl who sold her soul
He knew there was no helping – they could not be told

So live your life without regret
Live your life, and don’t forget
Everything that happens, does so for a reason
Take it easy
Take it easy

Yet deep down, a part of you really
wants to keep for yourself... ... more
