Monkey's Tale Lyrics - Dolly Parton

(Leona Reese) 

Oh, the monkey's had a better tale than you 

Compare to yours all their tales sound so true 

The way you're actin' seems to me at all the monkey should go free 

You're the one that should be locked up in the Zoo. 

When I married you I thought you were a man 

But you're the biggest ape that's living in this land 

I'd like to run you up a tree for the way you lie to me 

Your swingin' round is gettin' out of hand.

Oh, the monkey's had a better tale than you 

Compare to yours all their tales sound so true 

The way you're actin' seems to me at all the monkey should go free 

You're the one that should be locked up in the Zoo. 

Every monkey has its day so go ahead and play 

Make your plans and tell your lies and stick to them 

But from now on I remind you can wag your tail behind you 

Cause you finally got yourself out on a limb.

Every monkey has its day a better tale than you 

Compare to yours all their tales sound so true 

The way you're actin' seems to me at all the monkey should go free 

You're the one that should be locked up in the Zoo. 

Oh, the monkey's had a better tale than you...
