Warren Zevon — Leave My Monkey Alone

[Chorus] Leave my monkey alone Leave my monkey alone Leave my monkey alone Leave my monkey alone [Verse 1] Down in Kenya where the Masai roam And the grass grows tall on the veldt In our old colonial home We drank our bitters while the empire fell [Chorus] Leave my monkey alone Leave my monkey alone Leave my monkey alone Leave my monkey alone [Verse 2] One day the Mau Mau came All we had was lost In our old colonial home Under the Southern Cross [Chorus] Leave my monkey alone Leave my monkey alone Leave my monkey alone Leave my monkey alone [Verse 3] Down in Kenya where the Masai roam And the grass grows tall on the veldt In our old colonial home We drank our bitters while the empire fell [Chorus] Leave my monkey alone Leave my monkey alone Leave my monkey alone Leave my monkey alone [Verse 4] The Mau Mau came in '52 The sun went down and we drew the drapes In our old colonial home We hid behind the Mau Mau gates [Chorus] Leave my monkey alone Leave my monkey alone Leave my monkey alone Leave my monkey alone [Bridge] Mzungu arudi ulaya mwa frika apate uhuru [Chorus] Leave my monkey alone Leave my monkey alone Leave my monkey alone Leave my monkey alone [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] Leave my monkey alone (Mzungu arudi ulaya mwa frika apate uhuru) Leave my monkey alone Leave my monkey alone (Mzungu arudi ulaya mwa frika apate uhuru) Leave my monkey alone [Outro] Mzungu arudi ulaya mwa frika apate uhuru
