Kalepo
From 'Sir Oliver's Song' (3:27)
(Can be purchased with full CD)
Verse 1:
Kalepo the monkey
He likes to eat banana
But he gets banana
Not like the other monkeys
All of the other monkeys climb the trees to get banana
None of them mind the work it takes to climb banana tree
Verse 2:
But Kalepo the monkey
He'd rather steal banana
He takes from the others
All of the fruit they work for
He get alone in the jungle tree away from other monkeys
But it's no fun to eat that thing that don't belong to you
Chorus:
Kalepo, bring back banana
You only hurt yourself inside
Kalepo, bring back banana
You gotta get it right
Kalepo, bring back banana
You only hurt yourself inside
Kalepo, bring back banana
You gotta get it right
Verse 3:
The birds in the jungle
They heard about Kalepo
The snake and the burro
They heard it from the beetle
They said he was a naughty boy to take from the other monkeys
Everyone hoped that he would learn that it was wrong to steal
Chorus:
Kalepo, bring back banana
You only hurt yourself inside
Kalepo, bring back banana
You gotta get it right
Verse 4:
Old Desmond the lion
He was king of the jungle
One day as he passed by
He stopped to see the monkeys
They told the king about their friend who love to steal bananas
Desmond, he raise his hairy head and this is what he said
Verse 5:
Hey Kalepo, you shame me
You are a selfish monkey
By stealing from others
You've made yourself so ugly
But if you bring back stolen food right now and say you're sorry
Never to rob your friends again then we'll be kind to you
Chorus:
Kalepo, bring back banana
You only hurt yourself inside
Kalepo, bring back banana
You gotta get it right
Kalepo, bring back banana
You only hurt yourself inside
Kalepo, bring back banana
You gotta get it right
