about

While we were in the bluesy, neo-60's band, The Roosters United, lead singer Graham Daddy gave me pages of original lyrics - this song in particular stuck out and I wrote the music to his words - unfortunately he never got to hear a recorded version.

lyrics

Monkey See, Monkey Do
Lyrics by Graham Daddy
Music, arrangement by Richard d'Andrea ©2018, ℗2018 Raw Terra

Grand theft, goose step,
Everybody's got to have a game.
Big shot, hip hop,
Everybody's trying to make a name.
Gangland, big plans,
Run to catch the money train.
Hangman, gunhand,
It's all water going down the drain...

Monkey See, Monkey Do,
See no evil, and you got no clue.
Everybody's so religious
Going 'round their monkey business.
Monkey See, Monkey Do,
You hear no evil, speak no truth.
Only love can conquer hate,
The whole damn world is going, is going ape.

A-bomb, dot-com,
Free porno on the internet.
Prophesies and weird disease,
Never let them see you sweat.
Incense, self-defense,
Tsunamis and technology.
It's a big stick, it's a hat trick,
And don't let anybody ride for free...
