le singe est dans l'arbre by oldrottenhead for the monkey fest litlr

[Oldrottenhead]

inspired by an old eddie izzard routine. and you can learn some french to boot.

"le singe est dans l'arbre"
"le singe est dans l'arbre"
Is all the French he knew
"le singe est dans l'arbre"
"le singe est dans l'arbre"
A phrase he could never use
Cos he didn't have a monkey
And he didn't have a tree
"le singe est dans l'arbre"
Would never be
one day he went to paris
And bought a baby colobus
 took it to Parc de Belleville
And let it climb a tree
"le singe est dans l'arbre"
"le singe est dans l'arbre"
He cried with glee
he was tapped upon the shoulder
A gendarme shook his head
"Le singe est sur la branche!"
"Le singe est sur la branche!"
Your French is incorrect
"Le singe est sur la branche!"
"Le singe est sur la branche!"
Can't you get it right
You went to all this bother
Came all the way to france
You even bought a monkey
For what
"le singe est dans l'arbre"
"le singe est dans l'arbre"
he got it wrong
"Le singe est sur la branche!"
"Le singe est sur la branche!"
You learn something new every day

I love it brother, a brilliant mood piece.
Fest On!

[Geir]

I don't understand a word ... and I really don't want to either .... but ....


this is rather fab anyway

[cuthbert]

Drunky monkey!     

I totally dig the atmosphere, and those orh chords. Nice one, man.

[Redler]

You've written an ethereal tune again - does that feel come to me from the chords you're using...? I'm on the second listening - this works, James!

[Ella]

I like that dark sound and strange words. You really can create atmosphere. I love Paris!

[Starseed]

Où est Waldo, il est devant vous. Il est différent, il est puissant et détient la clé. il monte l'arbre, mais n'y a pas de singe. Sa puissance est profonde émotion et arrache comme l'éclairage avant.

Peaceful tune.

[Oldrottenhead]

cheers starseed. Eric Cantona couldn't have put it better.

Who cares it's monkeys in it, and it's beautiful.
