Proudest Monkey

Sweet enough in my tree
Oh well I bounce around
Branch to branch
Landed in His tree
all in a day's dream

The other monkeys
beat the other monkey's head
Me I am a humble monkey
Sitting up in my tree again
But then comes a day
When I came down from these safe limbs
I turned I turned away
walking tall...
and I up and singing

I went to the city
car horns, corners, and gritty
Now I am I am the proudest monkey
You ever seen
Monkey see Monkey do, Yeah

Then came a day
Staring at myself in my reflection there
I wonder do I want the simple so-called things
that I knew when I sat up in my branches dreaming
I know these were easy days
Nuts and Bugs and Berries were my way to pay the way
Now I am I am the proudest monkey
You ever seen
Monkey see Monkey do, Yeah
