The twist of the smooth monkey/Mono Liso

Do you know, do you know
what the famous smooth monkey/Mono Liso did?
On the shore of a ditch
he hunted an orange and caught it alive.
Such courage!
Even though he had forgotten
his knife in the quince jam
he hunted it with a fork.
 
The orange is taking a walk
from the livingroom to the dining room.
Don't throw at me with a knife
Throw at me with a fork.
When it was time for dinner
he felt sorry for the orange.
The smooth monkey/Mono Liso was so kind
That he did not want it for dessert.
 
The courageous hunter
Ordered his cortège to keep it alive
In the freezer.
 
The orange is taking a walk
from the livingroom to the dining room.
Don't throw at me with a knife
Throw at me with a fork.
 
The smooth monkey/Mono Liso tamed her in the kitchen everyday
With extreme patience.
The orange did not learn.
With rigor Mono Liso/smooth monkey pushed it a little bit
And the orange took its first step without making a mistake.
 
Mono Liso/Smooth monkey showed the orange around the whole apartment complex
Other times he took it for a visit in its little cage
But one day a thief came in
You can imagin what he did.
The courageous smooth monkey/Mono Liso said:
"What a hassle!"
 
The orange is taking a walk
from the livingroom to the dining room.
Don't throw at me with a knife
Throw at me with a fork.
 
The monkey/Mono Liso went to the court of King Momo
To complain about the theft.
Lying, the king promises
That the great hat has it.
 
In a frenzy, suddenly the monkey says:
"There it is, behind the throne,
The orange I lost"
 
The orange is taking a walk
from the livingroom to the dining room.
Don't throw at me with a knife
Throw at me with a fork.
 
And without permission, the queen
Hid the orange who was so fond of walking from the courageous smooth monkey in a soup tureen.
Smooth monkey/Mono Liso saved it
But because of tapioca
The orange was crazy
And this story is at its end.
 
The orange is taking a walk
from the livingroom to the dining room.
Don't throw at me with a knife
Throw at me with a fork.
 
The orange is taking a walk
from the livingroom to the dining room.
Don't throw at me with a knife
Throw at me with a fork.
