Dave Matthews Band and Dave Matthews - Proudest Monkey (in album Live At Red Rocks 8/15/95) Songtexte

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...

<scats a little>
Who taught this monkey to
think he's so great

Who taught this monkey
to turn in betreyal of this friends

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)
