I Am a Monkey
I am a monkey dark and clean
I am a monkey and I love soybean
I am a monkey and I love to eat greens
I am a monkey and I am on a global spree
I am a monkey and I am swinging from tree to tree
I am a monkey and I love to be free
I am a monkey and I am full of glee
They say that I am very agile
But the truth is sometimes my race is very fragile
One talk of monkey with me will rise up a dust storm
One monkey talk will send them scrambling in the dark
I am a monkey and I am big and strong
I am monkey and I am the queen of the land
I originate from the jungle I have traveled
miles upon miles with numerous bundles
My sisters and brothers are baboons and chimpanzees
And we all originate from the primates family
The lion is my first cousin and the tiger is my second cousin
I love discussion and concession but I hate confession
I am a monkey and I am beautiful and sweet,
I can survive for long hours in the sweltering heat
I am a monkey and I love to eat, I often walk on two feet
But when I am angry I walk on four feet
I am very sensitive but I am not easily offended
I love to enjoy a good joke about my long tail and my beautiful mouth
They joke about my beautiful eyes but that doesn't make me cry
They even mock me on the football field
That will not shatter my dreams
I am a monkey and I am bursting with energy
I am a monkey and I like to watch a good show
I love to sing and dance
But I don’t like when you step on my big toe
I originate from the monkey kingdom and I have much wisdom
In the future I will rule the world
So you better get used to my monkey face
Get down on your knees and thank God for amazing grace
The monkey will be with every day and we will meet in the hallway
I am a monkey and I can jump from the street to the top of the mountain
I am a monkey so meet me at the fountain I love to mingle with everybody
But I am going around in a monkey body
I am a monkey and I like to do things the monkey way.
