Monkeybird - Rheostatics

Monkeybird, monkeybird

My brother Bug and I heard you high up in a tree

So high we couldn’t see

Monkey, hey. Monkey, hi

Up the yobbinberry tree climb. My voice is hoarse and thin

From trying to imitate it

I hope it doesn’t end before the day is done

Cause we love the song

It’s sad when it’s done

Monkeybird, monkeybird

Do you eat bananas or worms?

Your voice haunting and free brings out the monkey in me

(Monkeybird, up high in banana tree

Monkeybird, you sit all alone like me.)

Monkeybird, monkeybird

My brother, Bug, is a turd. He always sings along

And gets my favorite part wrong
