lyrics

SIX LITTLE MONKEYS (WILLIAM BRAGG)

SIX LITTLE MONKEYS
ALL IN A ROW
SPOUTING OUT THE NONSENSE
IN THEIR VAUDVILLE SHOW
SIX LITTLE MONKEYS
JUST SITTING ON THE BENCH
GONNA CHANGE A LITTLE HISTORY
AND LEAVE A LITTLE STENCH
SIX LITTLE MONKEYS
ALL IN A ROW
WHY DID THEIR LITTLE LIES
HAVE TO BECOME SO BOLD

THEY HOLD THEIR LITTLE HANDS
TO COVER UP THEIR EYES
& THEY NEVER HAVE TO SEE
THOSE TEARS THAT PEOPLE CRY
THEY ONLY KNOW THE FABLE
OF AN AGE CENTURIES PAST
OH THE TIMES THEY AREN’T A CHANGING
ON THAT YOU CAN BET YOUR ASS
THEY CHOOSE TO SEE THE LAW
WITH NARROW LITTLE EYES
THEY THINK OF BUNKER HILL
AS A GUIDE TO HELP DECIDE

SEE OUR LITTLE MONKEYS
SO PRETTY IN THEIR ROBES
HEAR OUR LITTLE MONKEYS
SO CLEVER IN THEIR JOKE
YES, SEE OUR LITTLE MONKEYS
SITTING IN A ROW
THE HAPLESS LITTLE MONKEYS
IT’S TIME FOR YOU TO GO

SIX LITTLE MONKEYS (REPEAT 2 TIMES)

BREAK
AND NOW OUR LATEST MONKEYS
SO QUICK TO JOIN THE FRAY
THEY SEE THE BRITISH COMING
AS IF IT IS TODAY
THEY’RE THE ONES WHO MAKE IT WORK
THOUGH THEY SAID THEY NEVER WOULD
JUST A LITTLE LIE TO GET THE JOB
THAT’S HOW YOU WRITE THE BOOK
AND WHY NOT JOIN THE CHORUS
OF THOSE WHO LOVE TO BLAME
DEMOCRACY’S FOR LOSERS
LET’S PLAY A BRAND NEW GAME

JUST OUR LITTLE MONKEYS
NO EVIL IN THEIR EYES
JUST OUR LITTLE MONKEYS
NO EVIL IN THEIR EARS
JUST OUR LITTLE MONKEYS
JUST EVIL IN THEIR WORDS
OH OUR LITTLE MONKEYS
AND EVIL IN THEIR FEARS

YES OUR LITTLE MONKEYS
IT’S TIME FOR YOU TO GO
YES OUR LITTLE MONKEYS
IT’S TIME FOR YOU TO GO
OUR LITTLE MONKEYS
ADIOS
