Monkey and Bunny

(Patter patter shoop shoop Patter patter shoop shoop Patter patter shoop shoop) There was a little man Who ran a shoeshine stand Every day the man would sweep Clutter from the busy street He seldom said a word That anybody heard There was something in his face Loneliness would not erase Like a broken pup He looked up from the cup He drank his morning coffee in And wiped the dribbles from his chin And when his eyes met mine He made a little whine He came within an inch or two And then he whispered, "I hate you" How did he know? How did he know? How did he know? How did he know? Once I had some pets And let them starve to death It was a... funny little monkey And a big white Easter bunny They lived in little cages And some-- sometimes in rages I would turn them upside down And drag the monkey all around
