Zevon Warren - Leave My Monkey Alone lyrics

rate me

Mzungu Arudi Ulaya Mwa Frika Apate Uhuru

(Whites go back to Europe Freedom for Africa)

Leave My Monkey Alone

Leave My Monkey Alone

Leave My Monkey Alone

Leave My Monkey Alone

Down in Kenya where the Masai roam

And the grass grows tall on the veldt

In our old colonial home

We drank our bitters while the empire fell

Leave My Monkey Alone

One day the Mau Mau came

All we had was lost

In our old colonial home

Under the Southern Cross

Leave My Monkey Alone

Down in Kenya where the Masai roam

And the grass grows tall on the veldt

In our old colonial home

We drank our bitters while the empire fell

Leave My Monkey Alone

the Mau Mau came in '52

The sun went down and we drew the drapes

In our old colonial home

We hid behind the Mau Mau gates

Leave My Monkey Alone
