|
In the cool shade of the banana tree |
|
On the rugged trail toward the balcony |
|
A child of the twentieth century |
|
A dried up |
|
Goliath and a weasel named |
|
FeeFar away in another place |
|
A fading beauty named |
|
Milly Grace |
|
A gospel singer with pocks on her face |
|
And a bamboo cane to help her keep the pace |
|
Fee was a |
|
Buddhist prodigy |
|
Long past the age of maturity |
|
Someday he knew it would set him free |
|
Like it did for |
|
Floyd the chimpanzee |
|
Oh, Fee, you're trying to live a life |
|
That's completely free. |
|
You're racing with the wind, you're flirting with death |
|
So have a cup of coffee and catch your breath |
|
Oh, Fee, you're trying to live a life |
|
That's completely free. |
|
You're racing with the wind, you're flirting with death |
|
So have a cup of coffee and catch your breath |
|
Fee first met |
|
Milly in a bar in |
|
PeruHis heart was jumping like a kangaroo |
|
Like a beast in a cage in an old |
|
Dutch zooIt was hopping and thumping in wooden shoes |
|
But Floyd was jealous and alone |
|
He wanted |
|
Milly for his own |
|
A desperate craving in his bones"Their love", he said, "I will not condone" |
|
Then one day on a ship to |
|
QuebecFloyd found |
|
Milly on a lover's trek |
|
He picked up a bottle and broke off the neck |
|
It sliced through the air, and |
|
Fee hit the deck |
|
Oh, Fee, you're trying to live a life |
|
That's completely free |
|
You want to stay with |
|
Milly until you're dead |
|
But you just got a bottle upside your head |
|
Oh, Fee, you're trying to live a life |
|
That's completely free |
|
You want to stay with |
|
Milly until you're dead |
|
But you just got a bottle upside your head |
|
Milly turned and began to scream at |
|
FloydShe said, "You think you're pretty mean" |
|
And though she was as thin as a small string bean |
|
She slammed him in the face with a nectarine |
|
Floyd fell back over the edge of the ship |
|
Till he hung from the rail by his fingertip |
|
Milly said, "Floyd I'll make you lose your gripWith this tiny piece of paper I can make you slip" |
|
So Milly took that paper and did the deed |
|
Floyd hit the water with astonishing speed |
|
And as the sharks circled and began to feed |
|
Milly knew her weasel was finally free |
|
Oh, Fee, you're trying to live a life |
|
That's completely free |
|
Floyd is dead, he's nothing but a ripple' |
|
Cause Milly took that paper and sliced him on the nipple |
|
Oh, Fee, you're trying to live a life |
|
That's completely free |
|
Floyd is dead, he's nothing but a ripple' |
|
Cause Milly took that paper and sliced him on the nipple |
|
Oh, Fee, you're trying to live a life |
|
That's completely free. |
|
You're racing with the wind, you're flirting with death |
|
So have a cup of coffee and catch your breath |
|
Oh, Fee, you're trying to live a life |
