Its not entertainment for me mate!

I hate Korea

and everyone here

I tell you they are bloody mad

the smell of burnt dogs

and barbecued hogs

it gets to me

and makes me feel sad

 

they give me bananas

as black as the charcoal

the stuff that they put on the fire

and I sit in this cage

for well just an age

and the smell around here

is just dire

 

when I think of the home

that I left long ago

in the jungles of India I

swung on the trees

I didn’t get fleas

but here sometimes

I would just die

 

sooner than sit on my haunches

picking off fleas everyday

they are so big here

like beetles back home

and no matter how

they appear

 

I sit mostly twiddling my fingers

the cage is as tiny as hell

I can’t really move about

so I get sore

and really I don’t feel that well

 

they make me do tricks

they are nothing for me

but these human twits

they think its funny

its just the sheer boredom

of sitting about

with no where to climb

when I go out

 

Its not entertainment

well not for me

a somersault here

and some knee bends for free

riding a motor bike

I can do that

sometimes I think

I’m a bit of  a pratt

 

but I have to go there

I do it well

for an extra banana

those days can be swell

 

the problem is they don’t

clean me at all

and I’m no where near water

when the fleas come to call

no one to preen me

I’m a typical bloke

having a preen

well its really no joke

 

its what we do

and so I tend to pong

still I’m all by myself

so nothing is wrong

sometimes they clip me

some times I cry

sometimes thyt whip me

thats when I, wonder why

 

If the door just came open

what I would do

run like the clappers

get out of this zoo

but where would I go

I’m a realist too

better the devil you know

thats my view

 

Its not entertainment for me

not at all

but at least I’m alive

and I come when they call
