lyrics

Monkey Dreams

I like the game face
Armani briefcase
Walk like a tall man walk
You got your acronyms
You got your synonyms
Talk like a smart man talk.
Boss is calling-Dow Jones is falling
And your heart’s nowhere near New York
Bananas in the trees And blue skies at sun - rise
Some sparkles in a stream. Gardenias on the breeze
And star -light at ‘good night’
Then nothing but monkey dreams

You take the monkey
He kinda funky
He living very well
He doesn’t need a lot
He got no coffee pot
He like the way things smell
When it’s raining, he not complaining
He just splash where the raindrops fell

Bananas in the trees and blue skies at sunrise
Some sparkles in a stream
Gardenias on the breeze
And starlight at ‘goodnight’
Then nothing but monkey dreams
With the clouds for his ceiling
There’s more room for big feelings
With the moonlight for his night light
He just spread his arms and fly

Guess evolution
Was no solution
It gave us doubt and fear
No monkey politics
No monkey rhetoric
That’s why his mind is clear
He found Nietzsche a little preachy, but Voltaire really quite sincere

Bananas in the trees and blue skies at sunrise
Some sparkles in a stream. Gardenias on the breeze
And starlight at ‘goodnight’.
Then nothing but monkey dreams

I wish you monkey. I wish you monkey.
I wish you nothing but monkey dreams.
Yes, I do
Blow a kiss and monkey dreams to you.
