Album: Before These Crowded Streets

Proudest Monkey

Proudest Monkey

Well, I used to live in a tree
I loved it there, but that was not enough for me
So I paved a road to the city
And left the rest of the monkeys

So when I leave the (???)
I am the Proudest Monkey that I know
Monkey see, monkey do
Monkey see, monkey do

When I walk, I walk so tall...
Not bent or doubled up
Like the other monkeys that I know...
Still I don't know if I have a soul
Or if Heaven's the place to go...
Or if Hell's where we burn...
Or if sinning's what we do...
Where do I know that I'm the smartest monkey...
That I know

Monkey see, monkey do,
Monkey see...

We are the proudest monkeys...
We are the proudest monkeys...
You and me are the proudest monkeys...
You and I are the proudest monkeys...

Monkey see, monkey do...
Monkey see, monkey do... (repeat as necessary)
