The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

A Barrel of Monkeys

Talking Monkeys 
They're acting oh so sweet
Talking Monkeys 
Then whispers so discreet 

Talking Monkeys
They say they can't be beat
Talking Monkeys 
Then run on two left feet

Talking Monkeys 
Are hungry for a treat
Talking Monkeys 
Keep biting all they meet

Talking Monkeys 
Are burning crops of wheat
Talking Monkeys 
Keep turning up the heat

Talking Monkeys 
Make history repeat 
Talking Monkeys 
Will soon taste their defeat 

Talking Monkeys 
With nothing left to eat
Talking Monkeys 
The San Francisco treat

Soylent Green's on the scene
The line starts from behind
