Artist/Band: 10cc
Lyrics for Song: The monkey and the onion
Lyrics for Album: Mirror mirror [1995]



10CC - The monkey and the onion



See the monkey peel the onion

See the monkey cry

He can feel his tears are flowin'

But he don't know why



He continues peeling faster

'Til the onion is no more

Now at last his cryin's over

But all he had is gone

Whatever for



You and I are always chasing

Wild ambitions and far off dreams

As we run in all directions

Nothing's quite the joy it seems



If I tell you that I love you

Don't ask how much

And don't ask why

Have no doubt and ask no questions

Just believe it's not a lie



Never take my love for granted

But never put it to the test

Like the monkey and his onion

Too much investigation

You know the rest



You and I are always chasing

Wild ambitions and far off dreams

As we run in all directions

Nothing's quite the joy it seems



On that we could be contented

With the good things that we've gained

But in the end we're empty handed

Just because we need the world explained
