Shangren - Monkey King
Music & Lyrics by Leonard Ong
Sun Wukong!
Born out of a magic stone
Awakened at the Flower fruit mountain
Greedy monkey, Grinning Monkey
Able to cast great powers
Seventy-Two transformations
Soaring on a magic cloud
Armed with a golden staff
Shrunk and hidden behind his ear
A quest to become immortal like the others is now ready to begin
The Monkey King has his eyes set on the Golden Cloud Palace
High above the Heavens
Venus grants him entrance,
Jade Emperor stands above him.
Entitles him as Protector of Horses
Realising he was fooled
Now Great Sage Equal to Heaven
He hears of preaches for immortals
At the banquet of the lady queen mother
Sneaky monkey transforms into Venus and orders the crowd out of the banquet
Now there is no one so the monkey eats the preaches of immortality.
Now a immortal, he is spotted
Caught and confronted by the twelve Thunder Generals
As he fights his way with ease
Suddenly a vase is dropped on his head
As he falls to the ground
Taken away for punishment
Thrown in crucible then he escapes
The celestial throne is now on his list
Sun Wukong!
