Dave Matthews Band Proudest Monkey Lyrics

Well, I used to live in a tree
I loved it there, but that
was not enough for me
So I paved a road to the city
And left the rest of the monkeys

So when I leave the (???)
I am the Proudest Monkey that I know
Monkey see, monkey do
Monkey see, monkey do

When I walk, I walk so tall...
Not bent or doubled up
Like the other monkeys that I know...
Still I don't know if I have a soul
Or if Heaven's the place to go...
Or if Hell's where we burn...
Or if sinning's what we do...
Where do I know that I'm the
smartest monkey...

Monkey see, monkey do,
Monkey see...

Who taught this monkey to
think he's so great

Who taught this monkey
to turn in betreyal of this friends

We are the proudest monkeys...
We are the proudest monkeys...
You and me are the proudest monkeys...
You and I are the proudest monkeys...

Monkey see, monkey do...
Monkey see, monkey do...
(repeat as necessary)

Swing in this tree
Oh I am bounce around so well
Branch to branch,
limb to limb you see
All in a day's dream
I'm stuck
Like the other monkeys here
I am a humble monkey
Sitting up in here again
But then came the day
I climbed out of these safe limbs
Ventured away
Walking tall, head high up and singing
I went to the city
Car horns, corners and the gritty
Now I am the proudest monkey you've ever seen
Monkey see, monkey do

Then comes the day
Staring at myself I turn to question me
I wonder do I want the simple, simple life that I once lived in well
Oh things were quiet then
In a way they were the better days
But now I am the proudest monkey you've ever seen
Monkey see, monkey do
Monkey see, monkey do
