In the cool shade of the banana On the trail toward the balcony A of the twentieth century A up Goliath and a weasel named Fee
Far in another place A fading beauty Milly Grace A gospel singer pocks on her face And a bamboo cane to her keep the pace
Fee was a Buddhist Long the age of maturity Someday he knew it set him free it did for Floyd the chimpanzee
Oh, Fee, you're trying to a life That's free. You're racing the wind, you're flirting with death So have a cup of coffee and catch breath
Oh, Fee, you're trying to a life That's free. You're racing the wind, you're flirting with death So have a cup of and catch your breath
Fee first met in a bar in Peru His heart was jumping a kangaroo a beast in a cage in an old Dutch zoo It was hopping and thumping in shoes
But Floyd was and alone He Milly for his own A desperate craving in his "Their love", he said, "I not condone"
Then one day on a to Quebec Floyd found Milly on a trek He picked up a and broke off the neck It sliced the air, and Fee hit the deck
Oh, Fee, trying to live a life That's free You want to stay with Milly until you're But you got a bottle upside your head
Oh, Fee, trying to live a life That's completely You want to stay with until you're dead But you just got a bottle upside head
Milly turned and began to at Floyd She said, "You you're pretty mean" And though she was as as a small string bean She him in the face with a nectarine
Floyd fell back over the of the ship he hung from the rail by his fingertip Milly said, "Floyd I'll make you your grip With this tiny of paper I can make you slip"
So Milly took paper and did the deed hit the water with astonishing speed And as the sharks and began to feed Milly her weasel was finally free
Oh, Fee, you're to live a life completely free Floyd is dead, he's but a ripple 'Cause Milly that paper and sliced him on the nipple
Oh, Fee, you're to live a life That's free Floyd is dead, he's but a ripple 'Cause Milly that paper and sliced him on the nipple
Oh, Fee, you're trying to live a That's free. You're racing with the wind, you're flirting with So have a cup of coffee and catch breath
Oh, Fee, you're to live a life That's free. You're racing with the wind, you're flirting death So have a cup of coffee and your breath
