LYRICS
Floating and flaming
Your ill-luminary
Lit up the monkey house
Pointing and blaming
Our coal mine’s canary
With the brain of a mouse
(Lit up the monkey house)
Never cease to amaze
Set the apes ablaze
Burned down the monkey house
(Lit up the monkey house)
Burned down the monkey house
(Lit up the monkey house)
“I’m sorry” comes too late
For prone, glowin’ primate
Set ablaze the caged
In the monkey house
Burned down the monkey house
(Lit up the monkey house)
Floating and flaming
Your ill-luminary
Lit up the monkey house
Burned down the monkey house
ABOUT THE SONG
Inspired by the tragic event: “Krefeld Zoo primates killed as sanctuary burns down”
A mother and her two daughters have turned themselves in to police over a blaze that killed dozens of animals at a zoo in Germany on New Year’s Eve, police confirmed on Thursday. The three women are being investigated for setting off flying lanterns, which are banned. The enclosure housed gorillas, orangutans, chimpanzees and marmosets.
