In the jungle monkeys look for a leader He doesn’t need to be the best reader He just needs to be a chest beater Showing he’ll be a pest eater
An ape emerges from the crowd Beating its breast Proving it’s proud Being the best Is about being loud So at its behest The other apes bow
The lion has fallen asleep So the ape stole its sheep And its throne to keep A mouth of foam to eat Leading the rabid elite With trampling feet And fists that beat
His sharpened fangs Above the breast he bangs Cause excruciating pangs Of torturous pain In the forest that rains He controls the brains Of apes filled with blame Creating an invasive game That is their species’ shame
Monkeys think this knuckle dragger Is more like Uncle Kracker So they tumble after His jungle laughter As he hoards the bananas Inside his comfy cabana In a far off savanna
Can’t they see he’s escaping To his savanna’s safety After constantly taking And rainforest ******? They’re too busy flinging **** To quietly sit And examine his wit
Once things aren’t optimal He avoids the topical Where it’s sunny and tropical But a heavy monsoon Will be brought by God soon To wipe out the barbaric baboon And all of his goliath goons Who are like ****** in the spoon They’re boiled then used To pacify the abused Then filling their shoes
The monkeys’ malevolent master Couldn’t be replaced any faster Once every day turned into disaster But the sour grapes Dour ape Escaped Not an hour late He ate the power plate By building a tower of hate And a coward’s gate Sealing our fate Of a jungle state
