Talking Monkeys Songtext
von Loveable Rogues

So foolish boy with your big aspirations
No second best, you′ve got good in your heart
Just play it cool, just play it cool
No talking monkeys, be smart

Get suited and booted like an older man
I've even wrote down my retirement plan
A wife and two boys called Alfie and Riley
A house in Epping where we can live nicely
Got a job where I sell stocks
I go to Selfridges to buy new socks
Candlelit dinner ′cause it on rooftops
Pay the babysitter, make her stop the clocks

Now I'm not saying that you can't be crazy
But who wouldn′t wanna live like this?

So foolish boy with your big aspirations
No second best, you′ve got good in your heart
Just play it cool, just play it cool
No talking monkeys, be smart


Always knew what I wanted to be
So I went with the tide and the deep blue sea
Jumped on a boat, people following me
Now I'm a boat, I would have to agree
That if you want, you achieve
So you best believe
Look to the mirror and the stars and it′s all you'll see

Now I′m not saying that you can't be crazy
But who wouldn′t wanna live like this?

So foolish boy with your big aspirations
No second best, you've got good in your heart
Just play it cool, just play it cool
No talking monkeys, be smart

I've come this far to know that
There′s only one person in this world in my eyes
I try to hide these feelings
But a feeling′s still a feeling and I'm feeling it trapped inside

So foolish boy with your big aspirations
No second best, you′ve got good in your heart
Just play it cool, just play it cool

No talking, no talking, no talking monkeys
So foolish boy with your big aspirations
No second best, you've got good in your heart
Just play it cool, just play it cool
No talking monkeys, be smart


So foolish boy with your big aspirations
No second best, you′ve got good in your heart
Just play it cool, just play it cool
No talking monkeys, be smart

No talking monkeys
No talking monkeys, be smart
No talking monkeys
No talking monkeys, be smart
