Lyrics: Proudest Monkey
Album: Crash
Artist: Dave Matthews
 

Swing in this tree
Oh I am bounce around so well
Branch to branch
limb to limb you see
all in a day’s dream
I’m stuck
Like the other monkeys here
I am a humble monkey
Sitting up in here again
But then came the day
I climbed out of these safe limbs
Ventured away
walking tall…
head high and singing

I went to the city
car horns, corners, and the gritty
Now I am the proudest monkey
You’ve ever seen
Monkey see Monkey do, Yeah

Then comes the day
Staring at myself I turn to question me
I wonder do I want the simple, simple life that I once lived in well
Oh things were quiet then
In a way they were the better days
Now I am I am the proudest monkey
You’ve ever seen
Monkey see Monkey do, Yeah
