Lyrics

[00:35.84] Don't be afraid, it's only business
[00:46.25] The alien prophet sighed
[00:53.59] The vulture and the magpie took
[00:59.15] The cash box from its hook
[01:03.58] The monkey in the corner
[01:08.80] Wrote the figures in his book
[01:13.21] Crazed the checkout lady's fingers
[01:14.99] Flash across the till
[01:21.65] And the captain posts the menu of the day
[01:22.36] And in banks across the world
[01:23.46] Christians, Moslems, Hindus, Jews
[01:24.68] And every other race, creed, colour, tint or hue
[01:26.89] Get down on their knees and pray
[01:30.13] The raccoon and the groundhog neatly
[01:34.60] Make up bags of change
[01:39.86] But the monkey in the corner
[01:43.28] Well he's slowly drifting out of range
[03:00.48] Christ, it's freezing inside
[03:03.70] The veteran cries
[03:05.53] The hyenas break cover
[03:07.93] And stream through the meadow
[03:10.91] And the vet rolls in
[03:12.32] To his bottle of gin
[03:14.29] So he picks up a stone
[03:16.64] That looks like a bone
[03:19.29] And the bullets fly
[03:20.94] And the rivers run dry
[03:21.99] And the fat girls sigh
[03:23.60] And the network anchor persons lie
[03:27.88] And the soldier's alone
[03:30.87] In the video zone
[03:33.25] But the monkey's not watching
[03:34.77] He's slipped out to the kitchen
[03:36.83] To pile the dishes
[03:37.96] And answer the phone
