Nyani: The Monkey

Monkey, Monkey jumping up and down in the tree,
jumping up and down tree
What immortal face or hand
could frame thy fearful symmetry?

Monkey, Monkey You are so funny.
Why don't you wear clothes?
Why are you jumping from tree to tree?
Why don't you have horns?
Why are you behaving like a human being
but not an animal?

Monkey, Monkey Sometimes you're dangerous
Why are you taking people's snacks?
Why do you have four toes?
Why do you have feather?
