The Monkey And The Snack
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
This is the story of the history of night
From the beginning it has never seen the light
It takes a while to never understand
And holds the gift of darkness in it's hand
This is the story of a monkey and the snake
The monkey hit that sucker with a rake
The snake then bit the monkey on the hand
And now the monkey's singin' in a band
