Tom T. Hall - The Monkey That Became President Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • I was there on the day the monkey came into this world
  • His face was round and reddish and his hair was slightly curled
  • He didn't look too different from the others I had seen
  • Who'd've thought he was the answer to the nation's dream
  • At first he didn't seem to be intelligent at all
  • Each time he'd start to walk about he'd stumble and he'd fall
  • My first impression was to be a most mistaken thought
  • Lord Almighty what's this little hairy monkey wrought
  • Because I witnessed his departure from his mother's womb
  • I felt inclined to check his progress every afternoon
  • One day the keeper of the Zoo called in the live TV
  • Brinkley said I think you'll be amazed at what you'll see
  • The monkey walked and talked and waved his arms about his head
  • In the corner was a stack of books that he had read
  • An Educated Monkey said the papers cross the land
  • It was more than weary sociologists could stand
  • Oh his fame was universal he was on the Carson Show
  • People talked about him kindly everywhere he'd go
  • His insight was amazing his philosophy was fair
  • He became a politician welcomed everywhere
  • His wit was not to be compared with any mind intact
  • He'd lace a phrase with irony and blend it all with fact
  • Conservatives applauded and the liberals were entranced
  • The bigots and the integrationists were in his camp
  • Nobody dared to meet him in an open press debate
  • He was nominated by the folks from every state
  • Yes a monkey was the President though maybe not the first
  • There was peace and harmony throughout the universe
  • The dream I had last night has been related as it came
  • As for interpretation well it's really very plain
  • Would you rather have a monkey up in Washington DC
  • Or have those people making monkeys out of you and me
