Coconut Monkey

A Wikipedia:song sung (TTTO "Paperback Writer" by the Beatles)

inspired by the real life coconut monkey hunting technique used by other dedicated (though less globalized) brain eaters

in honor of Larry Sanger and all wikiholics who just can't give it up

Lyrics

(intro riff)

It was long dark nights

fighting point of view

and I really thought

I was getting through

And I didn't mean

to become a troll

but sadly, folks, it's

the fate of all

I tried not to be a

coconut monkey...

coconut monkey!

When the monkey sticks

his whole arm inside,

he doesn't know

it's a trap, a lie

When the trolls return

just to eat his brain,

he runs away if

he's not insane

I shouldn't be a

coconut monkey...

coconut monkey!

(long guitar solo)

I could have worked

at Britannica

or at Microsoft

for the good of all

But no I had to

work with Wales and

now, I'm a troll

pulling rank somehow.

I'm just a troll

who got funky...a

coconut monkey!

My brain got ate

somewhere 'long the way,

now like Quake I think,

I've gone the zombie way

You can throw away

your best points on me

and I'll throw them back

with some bits of me

We're all stuck here

with our hands inside,

and most days I think,

I'd have rather died

I have become a

wiki-troll zombie...

coconut monkey!

(extra long guitar solo)

So to monkeys all

with their hands inside

I got this to say

then I'll drop my nut:

Everyone who clicks

on "save this page"

is a troll and stays

one to his dying day

That and yes a...

coconut monkey...

wiki gets funky!
