Dave Matthews Band - Live At Red Rocks 8.15.95 (Disc 1) (1997) - Proudest Monkey lyrics

  • Swing in this tree
    Oh I am bounce around so well
    Branch to branch,
    limb to limb you see
    All in a day's dream
    I'm stuck
    Like the other monkeys here
    I am a humble monkey
    Sitting up in here again


    But then came the day
    I climbed out of these safe limbs
    Ventured away
    Walking tall, head high up and singing
    I went to the city
    Car horns, corners and the gritty
    Now I am the proudest monkey you've ever seen
    Monkey see, monkey do


    Then comes the day
    Staring at myself I turn to question me
    I wonder do I want the simple, simple life that I once lived in well
    Oh things were quiet then
    In a way they were the better days
    But now I am the proudest monkey you've ever seen
    Monkey see, monkey do
    Monkey see, monkey do
