Lyrics:The Smartest Monkeys

by XTC

Well man created the cardboard box to sleep in it And man converted the newspaper to a blanket Well you have to admit that he's come a long way Since swinging about in the trees We're the smartest monkeys The smartest monkeys The evidence is all around Our brains are bigger This we've found The smartest monkeys Well man discovered the park bench can make a transition And the rubbish tip makes a valid form of nutrition With discoveries like these Civilisation agrees To give itself a pat on the back We're the smartest monkeys The evolution's plain to see We're the dominant of the species The smartest monkeys We brought the caveman from the stoneage To the subways of the modern world How they pack so many in Quick call the Guinness Book of Records Well you have to admit that he's come a long way Since swinging about in the trees We're the smartest monkeys The smartest monkeys The evidence is all around Our brains are bigger This we've found The smartest monkeys
