hey hey hey hey hey

I am a monkey
in outer space
I'm convinced I'll win the race
I love the arabs
I love the jews
and when the war starts
I don't wanna choose

hey hey hey hey hey

I'll float
in empty space
I'll find a mirror
and watch your face
I am a monkey
out at sea
I know where
I have been

hey hey hey hey hey

I am a primate
I have long arms
my feet don't need
to touch
the ground
I am a  monkey
afloat in space
gravity
can't hold me

hey hey hey hey hey

Loved it! That's a real catchy tune Geir, and I loved the way your guitars sound in this.

I have to ask: what is a baglama?

The baglama is the little sister of the bouzouki, tuned an octave higher.

This is mine, handmade, picked it up in Crete at the vacation a couple of weeks ago (on my 50th actually :))
