Lyrics
Grumbling Monkeys In My Belly © Stan Loh November 1, 2013 Verse 1 A7 I grew up in a village with bare feet and hand me downs, Am Our home was a shack of zinc, with packed mud for the ground, E7 No food on broken plates, E7 For poverty rules my fate Am E7 Dm Am Those grumbling monkeys in my belly will have to wait… Verse 2 A7 Have crumbs and castaways, this curry tastes damn good, Am Who cares about hygiene when you haven’t had no food, E7 Beware of death they say, E7 Well, I’m heading right that way, Am E7 Dm Am Those grumbling monkeys in my belly will sleep today… Scat: Am D7 Am/ Am D7 Am Chorus G Oh monkeys in my belly, Am Monkeys in my brain, G When you’re hungry everything is dark, E7 Am While life saps away … saps away … saps away. Verse 3 A7 Old sandals round my neck, I’m afraid to wear them down, Am Today I’m going downtown, to ride the underground, E7 St. Vincent doles some wholesome soup, E7 My name’s still in the loop, Am E7 Dm Am Those grumbling monkeys in my belly will eat today… Verse 4 A7 What life do I have, this vicious loop can’t break, Am The harder I try, the tighter God forsakes, E7 I raise my hands towards the sky, E7 But it rains high and dry! Am E7 Dm Am Those grumbling monkeys in my belly will cry inside…
