“Ning nong”

British tourists
Out in Thailand
Are encouraged to
Stand and watch a captive monkey
Doing tricks for you
Stolen from my family
From the forest
I am now
Chained up as his prisoner
And really that is how
It has to be
This layabout
Uses his spivvery
He doesn’t want to get a job
And work normally.

As a Person he has no scruples
No ethic in his soul
Wants to earn from a victim
For “NING NONG”the bells do roll

He treats me like a no body
Shouts at me each day
It’s about humiliation
He gets his kicks this way
And I am
Really suffering
My tiny muscles sore
I want to join my family
In the forest and what’s more

He forgets to feed me
Shows me scant respect
Disparaging my existence
And I do detect
Every cent he is making
It goes on fags and booze
The tourists really are very tight
So for me it’s just lose lose

The government should stop this
Why are we left to be
A prisoner of what is his criminality
Encroaching on my freedom
It is an outrage
Torturing and suffering
My life is off the page
As for British Tourists
In Phuket really they
Should run us off and call the cops
then I could run away
If only I could rejoin
My troop then I would be
Better for the experience
So honest if you see

Me or any of my friends
Riding bikes and pushing weight
Slam dunk balls in all this heat
With all my fur it isn’t great
We are suffering immeasurably
It’s relentless every day
If you are approached by him
Please will you walk away.
