Twist Del Mono Liso

Twist of the Smooth Monkey

Do they know, do they know what the famous smooth monkey did?
At the edge of a ditch, he caught a live orange
What courage, what valor!
Although he forgot the knife in the quince sweet
He caught it with a fork

The orange strolls
From the living room to the dining room
Don't throw me with a knife
Throw me with a fork
At dinner time
The orange felt sorry
The smooth monkey was so good
That he didn't want it for dessert

The brave hunter
Ordered his entourage
To keep it alive
In the refrigerator
The orange strolls
From the living room to the dining room
Don't throw me with a knife
Throw me with a fork

Smooth monkey in the kitchen
With Chinese patience
He tamed it day by day
The orange didn't learn
Smooth monkey with rigor
Finally pushed it a little
And took its first step
The orange without error

The orange strolls
From the living room to the dining room
Don't throw me with a knife
Throw me with a fork

The orange, smooth monkey
Showed it on the floor
Other times, on a visit
He took it in its little cage
But one day a thief entered
Can you imagine what the brave smooth monkey did?
Oh, what a blunder

The orange strolls
From the living room to the dining room
Don't throw me with a knife
Throw me with a fork
To the court of the foolish king
He went to complain about the theft
The lying king promises
That it's in the big hat

Because yes, with frenzy
Suddenly the monkey says
There it is behind the throne
The orange I lost
The orange strolls
From the living room to the dining room
Don't throw me with a knife
Throw me with a fork

And the queen without permission
Of the brave smooth monkey
Hid it in a tureen
The wandering orange
Smooth monkey saved it
But with tapioca force
The orange went crazy
And this tale is over

The orange strolls
From the living room to the dining room
Don't throw me with a knife
Throw me with a fork

The orange strolls
From the living room to the dining room
Don't throw me with a knife
Throw me with a fork
