Monkey Desires, Jungle Fires - Lyrics

Chorus

Monkey sees, monkey tease,
Monkey please, yeah I’m on my knees
Monkey desires ignite the jungle fires.
The louder the rant, the louder the chant
Monkey remembers like an elephant.
As if I can’t recant and be penitent
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

D’y’wanna hear a seer? You’re a curious cat.
Beware of the snake or the very large rat.
Words’re a token of something unspoken,
A golden rule that shouldn’t be broken

Monkey seeds fall on fertile soil,
Or on angry hearts that quickly boil.
Then they take root ‘n’ start to grow,
Just be careful what seeds you sow.

The child in me, my chimpanzee
Some people say a monkey, it’s really kind of funky.
An orangutan? No way man,
I’m no swinger in King Louies gang

The wages of sin is death I believe,
So the Bible tells you, curse of Adam and Eve
A sower sowed seed of the weed and smiled
Let it take root in the heart of a child

Monkey wants, monkey jumps
Monkey grunts, monkey humps,
They’re all jus’a big bunch o’ silly chumps.
It’s all jungle flatter, all chitter chatter

It don’t matter, all this jungle patter.
Just have fun, feel the sun
