And then there's Dave Bartholemew's (Fats Domino's manager and a musician in his own right) song -

THE MONKEY

Yeahhh! The monkey speaks his mind!

Now, 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 certain rumour that can't be true
That man descended from our noble race?
The very idea is a big disgrace!
No monkey ever deserted his wife,
Starve her baby and ruined her life!
Yeahhh! The monkey speaks his mind.

And you never known a mother-monk
To leave the babies with others to bunk
Or pass them on from one to another
Till they scarcely knew who was their mother
Yeahhh! The monkey speaks his mind.

And another thing you will never see
A monkey build a fence around a coconut tree
And let all the coconuts go to waste
Forbidden all other monkeys to come and taste
Why, if I put a fence around this tree
Starvation would force you to steal from me!
Yeahhh! The monkey speaks his mind.

Here's another thing a monkey won't do
Go out at night and get on a still
Or use a gun or club or knife
To take another's monkey's life
Yes, man descended, the worthless bum
But brothers, from us, he did not come
Yeahhh! The monkey speaks his mind.
