Leave My Monkey Alone lyrics
Written by Warren Zevon c. 1987, Zevon Music BMI
Mzungu Arudi Ulaya Mwa Frika Apate Uhuru (whites go back to Europe Freedom for Africa) Leave my monkey alone Leave my monkey alone Leave my monkey alone Leave my monkey alone 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 Leave my monkey alone Leave my monkey alone Leave my monkey alone Leave my monkey alone One day the Mau Mau came All we had was lost In our old colonial home Under the Southern Cross Leave my monkey alone Leave my monkey alone Leave my monkey alone Leave my monkey alone 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 Leave my monkey alone Leave my monkey alone Leave my monkey alone Leave my monkey alone 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 Leave my monkey alone Leave my monkey alone Leave my monkey alone Leave my monkey alone
