El twist del Mono Liso [English translation]
El twist del Mono Liso [English translation]
Do you know what did
the famous Monkey Liso?
At the edge of a trench
he hunted a living orange
How brave he was!
Even if he forgot the knife
and the marmelade jar
he hunted it with a fork.
The orange travels
from the hall to the dining room.
Don't throw me with a knife
throw me with a fork.
At dinner time
he felt pity for the orange,
the Monkey Liso was so good
that he didn't want it as dessert.
The brave hunter
ordered his procession
to keep it alive
in the fridge.
The orange travels
from the hall to the dining room.
Don't throw me with a knife
throw me with a fork.
Monkey Liso in the kitchen
with a chinese patience
tamed it everyday,
the orange wasn't learning.
Monkey Liso with rigour
finally pushed it a little
and gave the orange
its first step without mistake
Monkey Liso showed
the orange on the floor.
Other times in visits,
he took it to a cell.
But one day the burglar came in,
you imagine what he did,
The brave Monkey Liso said:
"Oh, what a mess"
The orange travels
from the hall to the dining room.
Don't throw me with a knife
throw me with a fork.
To the king momo court
he went to complain for the robbery.
The liar king promises
that Mr Nobody has it.
Just because, with frenzy
suddenly the monkey says:
"There it is behind the throne
the orange I lost"
The orange travels
from the hall to the dining room.
Don't throw me with a knife
throw me with a fork.
And the queen without permission
of the brave Monkey Liso
hid in a soup bowl
the travelling orange.
Monkey Liso saved it
But by force of tapioca
the orange went crazy
and this tale is over.
The orange travels
from the hall to the dining room.
Don't throw me with a knife
throw me with a fork.
The orange travels
from the hall to the dining room.
Don't throw me with a knife
throw me with a fork.
