Don't be afraid, it's only business
|
The alien prophet sighed
|
The vulture and the magpie took
|
The cash box from its hook
|
The monkey in the corner wrote
|
The figures in his book
|
Crazed the checkout lady's fingers
|
Flash across the till
|
And the captain posts
|
The menu of the day
|
And in banks across the world
|
Christians Moslems Hindus Jews
|
And people of every
|
Race creed colour tint or hue
|
Get down on their knees and pray
|
The racoon and the groundhog
|
Neatly make up bags of change
|
But the monkey in the corner
|
Well he's slowly drifting out of range
|
Christ is freezing inside
|
The veterans cries
|
The hyenas break cover
|
And stream through the meadow
|
And the fog rolls in
|
Through his bottle of gin
|
So he picks up a stone
|
That looks like a bone
|
And the bullets fly
|
And the rivers run dry
|
And the fat girls sigh
|
And the network anchor persons lie
|
And the soldier's alone
|
In the video zone
|
But the monkey's not watching
|
He's slipped out to the kitchen
|
To pile the dishes
|
And answer the phone
|
