In the cool shade of the tree On the rugged trail the balcony A of the twentieth century A up Goliath and a weasel named Fee
Far in another place A fading beauty Milly Grace A gospel singer with on her face And a cane to help her keep the pace
Fee was a prodigy Long past the age of Someday he it would set him free it did for Floyd the chimpanzee
Oh, Fee, you're trying to live a That's free. You're racing the wind, you're flirting with death So have a cup of coffee and your breath
Oh, Fee, you're to live a life That's free. racing with the wind, you're flirting with death So have a cup of coffee and catch breath
Fee first met Milly in a bar in His was jumping like a kangaroo Like a in a cage in an old Dutch zoo It was and thumping in wooden shoes
But was jealous and alone He wanted for his own A desperate in his bones "Their love", he said, "I not condone"
Then one day on a to Quebec found Milly on a lover's trek He picked up a bottle and broke off the It through the air, and Fee hit the deck
Oh, Fee, you're to live a life That's completely You want to stay with Milly you're dead But you just got a bottle your head
Oh, Fee, you're trying to a life That's free You want to stay with Milly until dead But you just got a upside your head
Milly turned and to scream at Floyd She said, "You you're pretty mean" And though she was as thin as a small bean She him in the face with a nectarine
fell back over the edge of the ship Till he hung from the by his fingertip Milly said, "Floyd I'll you lose your grip With this tiny piece of I can make you slip"
So Milly took that and did the deed Floyd hit the with astonishing speed And as the sharks circled and to feed Milly knew her was finally free
Oh, Fee, you're trying to a life completely free Floyd is dead, nothing but a ripple 'Cause took that paper and sliced him on the nipple
Oh, Fee, you're trying to a life That's completely Floyd is dead, nothing but a ripple 'Cause Milly that paper and sliced him on the nipple
Oh, Fee, trying to live a life completely free. You're racing with the wind, flirting with death So have a cup of coffee and your breath
Oh, Fee, trying to live a life completely free. You're racing with the wind, you're with death So have a cup of coffee and catch breath
