Screamin Jay Hawkins - Monkberry Moon Delight Lyrics

So I sat in the attic
A piano up my nose
And the wind played a dreadful cantata (cantata)

Sore was I from the crack of an enemy's hose
And the horrible sound of tomato (tomato)

Ketchup (ketchup)
Soup and puree (Soup and puree)
Don't get left behind (get left behind)

When a rattle of rats had awoken
The sinews, the nerves and the veins
My piano was boldly outspoken, in attempts to repeat its refrain

So I stood with a knot in my stomach
And I gazed at that terrible sight
Of two youngsters concealed in a barrel
Sucking monkberry moon delight

Monkberry moon delight
Monkberry moon delight

Well, I know my banana is older than the rest
And my hair is a tangled beretta
When I leave my pajamas to Billy Budapest
And I don't get the gist of your letter (your letter)

Catch up! (catch up)
Cats and kittens (cats and kittens)
Don't get left behind (get left behind)

Monkberry moon delight
Monkberry moon delight
