Bananas

I don't understand why they make up so many stories
That a monkey was your grandfather, they teach you as a child and you swallow it whole
Could it be bananas?
If I jumped through the branches, I would eat many bananas
So say: 'Father monkey up in the branches,
I ask you to give me many bananas'

I don't descend from monkeys, I don't buy that story
How many bananas do you want to bet, I don't descend from monkeys, no way!
I don't descend from monkeys, I don't buy that story
That my first grandfather was Adam, I don't descend from monkeys, no way!

You fell for a thousand lies, you ate a thousand bananas
And even though the monkey dresses in silk, it remains sad
What did you choose?
Could it be bananas?
Stop fooling around and pay attention to what you swallow
Then shout: 'Father monkey up in the branches,
I ask you to give me many bananas'

Don't let them sell you a monkey for a hare, I'm not a monkey
Even if I hunch over, even if I walk limping, even if I scratch my head
Even if I have big, big ears
And jump through the branches, jump
