What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
In the cool shade of the banana tree
2
On the rugged trail toward the balcony
3
A child of the twentieth century
4
A dried up Goliath and a weasel named Fee
5
Far away in another place
6
A fading beauty named Milly Grace
7
And a bamboo cane to help her keep the pace
8
Fee was a Buddhist prodigy
9
Long past the age of maturity
10
Someday he knew it would set him free
11
Like it did for Floyd the chimpanzee
12
Oh, Fee, you're trying to live a life
13
That's completely free.
14
You're racing with the wind
15
You're flirting with death
16
So have a cup of coffee
17
And catch your breath
18
Fee first met Milly in a bar in Peru
19
His heart was jumping like a kangaroo
20
Like a beast in a cage in an old Dutch zoo
21
It was hopping and thumping in wooden shoes
22
But Floyd was jealous and alone
23
He wanted Milly for his own
24
A desperate craving in his bones
25
"Their love", he said, "I will not condone."
26
Then one day on a ship to Quebec
27
Floyd found Milly on a lover's trek
28
He picked up a bottle and broke off the neck
29
It sliced through the air, and Fee hit the deck
30
Oh, Fee, you're trying to live a life
31
That's completely free
32
You want to stay with Milly
33
Until you're dead
34
But you just got a bottle
35
Upside your head
36
Milly turned and began to scream at Floyd
37
said "You think you're pretty mean"
38
And though she was as thin as a small string bean
39
She slammed him in the face with a nectarine
40
Floyd fell back over the edge of the ship
41
Till he hung from the rail by his fingertip
42
said, "Floyd I'll make you lose your grip
43
With this tiny piece of paper I can make you slip"
44
So Milly took that paper and did the deed
45
Floyd hit the water with astonishing speed
46
And as the sharks circled and began to feed
47
Milly knew her weasel was finally free
48
Oh, Fee, you're trying to live a life
49
That's completely free
50
Floyd is dead; he's nothing but a ripple
51
Cause Milly took that paper
52
And sliced him on the nipple
Fee
