| [00:13.981] | Three monkeys sitting under a coconut tree （really ） |

| [00:21.701] | There's a strange rumor that can't be true |
| [00:23.911] | They say man was ascended from our noble race |
| [00:26.471] | But the very idea is a big disgrace |
| [00:28.721] | No monkey ever deserted his wife |
| [00:31.491] | Or her baby to ruin their lives |
