Well, I'Ll Be a Monkey's Uncle

Well, I’ll Be a Monkey’s Uncle By Elton Camp Some say living on Earth I can’t be discontent That I lived in heaven before to here I was sent But to me that doesn’t have any familiar ring If I ever lived there, I don’t remember a thing Others claim that I’m a child of Adam & Eve Somehow, I find that much easier to believe Because old Adam didn’t behave too good And could’ve done better if only he would Some allow that from a lower form I did ascend That as a hairy monkey my ancestry did begin But that idea is one that causes me to groan If true, let’s pray that it not become well known
