| In the cool shade of the banana tree | |
| On the rugged trail toward the balcony | |
| A child of the twentieth century | |
| A dried up | |
| Goliath and a weasel named | |
| FeeFar away in another place | |
| A fading beauty named | |
| Milly Grace | |
| A gospel singer with pocks on her face | |
| And a bamboo cane to help her keep the pace | |
| Fee was a | |
| Buddhist prodigy | |
| Long past the age of maturity | |
| Someday he knew it would set him free | |
| Like it did for | |
| Floyd the chimpanzee | |
| Oh, Fee, you're trying to live a life | |
| That's completely free. | |
| You're racing with the wind, you're flirting with death | |
| So have a cup of coffee and catch your breath | |
| Oh, Fee, you're trying to live a life | |

| Fee first met | |
| Milly in a bar in | |
| PeruHis heart was jumping like a kangaroo | |
| Like a beast in a cage in an old | |
| Dutch zooIt was hopping and thumping in wooden shoes | |
| But Floyd was jealous and alone | |
| He wanted | |
| Milly for his own | |
| A desperate craving in his bones"Their love", he said, "I will not condone" | |
| Then one day on a ship to | |
| QuebecFloyd found | |
| Milly on a lover's trek | |
| He picked up a bottle and broke off the neck | |
| It sliced through the air, and | |
| Fee hit the deck | |
| Oh, Fee, you're trying to live a life | |
| That's completely free | |
| You want to stay with | |
| Milly until you're dead | |
| But you just got a bottle upside your head | |
| Oh, Fee, you're trying to live a life | |
| That's completely free | |
| You want to stay with | |
| Milly until you're dead | |
| But you just got a bottle upside your head | |
| Milly turned and began to scream at | |
| FloydShe said, "You think you're pretty mean" | |
| And though she was as thin as a small string bean | |
| She slammed him in the face with a nectarine | |
| Floyd fell back over the edge of the ship | |
| Till he hung from the rail by his fingertip | |
| Milly said, "Floyd I'll make you lose your gripWith this tiny piece of paper I can make you slip" | |
| So Milly took that paper and did the deed | |
| Floyd hit the water with astonishing speed | |
| And as the sharks circled and began to feed | |
| Milly knew her weasel was finally free | |
| Oh, Fee, you're trying to live a life | |
| That's completely free | |
| Floyd is dead, he's nothing but a ripple' | |
| Cause Milly took that paper and sliced him on the nipple | |
| Oh, Fee, you're trying to live a life | |
| That's completely free | |
| Floyd is dead, he's nothing but a ripple' | |
| Cause Milly took that paper and sliced him on the nipple | |
| Oh, Fee, you're trying to live a life | |
| That's completely free. | |
| You're racing with the wind, you're flirting with death | |
| So have a cup of coffee and catch your breath | |
