The Monkey And The Onion Lyrics - 10 Cc

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 

Photos 

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
