Breakfast

......It was one of those days
............That your head wished,
..................You'd never thought of standing up straight

......And doing lots of things
............Which just aren't expected,
..................Of an ordinary ape

......Like going out hunting
............down in the supermarket,
..................smiling at everyone you see,

......It was one of those days
............when you're straining your ears
..................trying to hear a little bit of peace

......But you feel it in your bones
............you'd be better off home
..................practising your philosophy
..................having breakfast in your tree

......Then you start dreaming
............about a grassy path,
..................But it turns into a greasy cafe,

......There's a sign on the wall saying
............Please . . . Don't,
..................Feed the animals they'll laugh

......Well days like these
............can turn into weeks,
..................and the clocks can't be turned round,

......But an ordinary ape
............can't be expected,
..................to have breakfast hanging round
..................................... . . on the ground
..................I want breakfast in a tree
