33 monkeys

Øóðà Ìþëëåð
33 monkeys and their mom
got sick of living in the jungle.
They packed their bags and went to the town
left behinde their old bungalow.
33 monkeys and their mom
sold their land just for coins a few,
Then they payd a visit some
good relatives in the zoo...
Is the food good?
Aren’t people rude?
How do you make yourselves
in the neighbourhood?

33 monkeys and their mom
have had an audience with the owner
Of the zoo and asked him for some
quiet and well-tended corners
Just to live there for a while,
next to their good relationship,
But the man answered with a croocked smile:
Well, I can’t place the whole monkey-nation, hm...
And so they had to go,
And outside the door
They were waited
by troubles much more...

Now the hard days began to strip
for the old ape-mom and her children.
34 cardboard boxes in a back street,
and within each dwelled a bottle of cheep gin.
There was no way back and none towards:
all the 33 they had to learn
How in such a case to stay aboard -
that is, on the same place to wind on.
Well, they began to steal
And with drugs to deal,
And what about girls -
you surely know whom they all did heal.

Then, after a while, well, there’s no wonder,
all of them got to know the thunder.
All the 33, one after another
were caught in the act, and rather
Soon all they found themselves in prison,
where they are visited a few times in a season
By their old ape mom
Bringing sawblades-jam,
Dynamite-cookies
and cakes with baked-in-guns...
