man: and this area is loaded with gold.
look at the future, gold mines are on fire! (?)

don't be afraid, it's only business

the alien prophet sighed

// ping, sighing //

the vulture and the magpie took
the cash box from its hook

// ping //
// screech //

the monkey in the corner
wrote the figures in his book

crazed, the checkout's lady fingers
flash across the till
and the captain posts
the menu of the day
and in banks across the world
christian, moslem, hindu, jew
and every other
race, creed, color, tint or hue
get down on their knees and pray

the racoon and the groundhog
neatly make up bags of change
but the monkey in the corner, heh
well, he's slowly drifting out of range

christ, it's freezing inside!
the veteren cries
the hyenas break cover
and stream through the meadow
and the fog rolls in
through his bottle of gin
so he picks up a stone
that looks like a bone
and the bullets fly
and the rivers run dry
and the fat girls sigh
and the network anchor persons lie
and the soldier's alone

// phone ring //

in the video zone
but the monkey's not watching
he's slipped out to the kitchen

// phone ring //

to pile the dishes
and answer the phone

// phone ring //
// phone ring //
// picks up phone //

man singing: wait till the sun shies, nellie
and the clouds have drifted by
we shall be happy, nellie
