Текст (слова) песни: Tom T. Hall - The Monkey That Became President



I was there on the day the monkey came into this world

His face was round and reddish and his hair was slightly curled

He didnt look too different from the others I had seen

Whod-a-thought he was the answer to the nations dream?

At first he didnt seem to be intelligent at all

Each time hed start to walk about hed stumble and hed fall

My first impression was to be a most mistaken thought

Lord amighty, whats this little hairy monkey wrought?

Because I witnessed his departure from his mothers womb

I felt inclined to check his progress every afternoon

One day the keeper of the zoo called in the live tv

"frankly said, I think youll be amazed at what you see".

The monkey walked and talked and waved his arms about his head

In the corner was the stack of books that he had read

"an educated monkey!" said the papers cross the land

It was more than weary sociologists could stand

Oh, his fame was universal, he was on the carson how

People talked about him kindly everywhere hed go

His insight was amazing, his philosophy was fair

He became a politician welcome everywhere

His wit was not to be compared with any mind intact

Hed lace a phrase with irony and blend it all with fact

Conservatives applauded and the liberals were entranced

The bigots and the integrationists were in his camp

Nobody dared to meet him in an open press debate

He was nominated by the folks from every state

Yes, a monkey was the president, though maybe not the first

And there was peace and harmony throughout the universe

The dream I had last night has been related as it came

As for interpretation, well, its really very plain

Would you rather have a monkey up in washington, d.c.

Or have those people making monkeys out of you and me?
