Makes A Monkey Of Himself 

(Music & Lyrics by Keith Brown) 

 

When you walk down the street, see a funny little man, 

Acting with false conceit as a loser only can, 

The way he thinks, his logic few, 

The way he walks, the way he talks, 

The things he do… 

  

Lives on Nottingham Ln., is a damned little fool, 

Tried to show off one day, took a plunge into the pool, 

He almost drowned, he flounced around, 

The lifeguard hauled him from the pool and rubbed him down. 

  

He wears the crown, King Of The Clowns, 

Folks whisper “Here he comes” as they move out of his way, 

Known by renown throughout the town 

As the eccentric one with strange behavior 

Out on display, every day. 

  

Hey monkey man, what was the plan? 

Seems it was over now before it began, 

He’s so uncool, breaks all the rules, 

Commands the boat known as the Ship of Fools. 

  

He wears the crown, King Of The Clowns, 

Folks whisper “Here he comes” as they move out of his way, 

Known by renown throughout the town 

As the eccentric one with strange behavior 

Out on display, every day. 

  

  Makes a monkey of himself almost every single day, 

With all the wisdom of a slug he lives his life now, come what may, 

He’s so uncool, he’s such a fool, 

And when he sees a pretty girl he starts to drool 

  

Hey monkey man, what was the plan? 

Seems it was over now before it began, 

He’s so uncool, breaks all the rules, 

Commands the boat known as the Ship of Fools.
