Lyrics Dave Matthews Band

Dave Matthews Band

Proudest Monkey

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
