The Monkey's Tale Songtext
von Dolly Parton

Oh, the monkey′s had a better tale than you
Compare to yours all their tales sound so true
The way you're actin′ seems to me at all the monkey should go free
You're the one that should be locked up in the Zoo

When I married you I thought you were a man
But you're the biggest ape that′s living in this land
I′d like to run you up a tree for the way you lie to me
Your swingin' round is gettin′ out of hand


Oh, the monkey's had a better tale than you
Compare to yours all their tales sound so true
The way you′re actin' seems to me at all the monkey should go free
You′re the one that should be locked up in the Zoo

Every monkey has it's day so go ahead and play
Make your plans and tell your lies and stick to them
But from now on I remind you, you can wag your tail behind you
'Cause you finally got yourself out on a limb

But every monkey has it′s day so go ahead and play
Make your plans and tell your lies and stick to them
But from now on I remind you, you can wag your tail behind you
′Cause you finally got yourself out on a limb

Oh, the monkey's had a better tale than you
