10cc - The Monkey And The Onion Lyrics
See the monkey peel the onion
See the monkey cry
He can feel his tears are flowin'
But he don't know why
'Til the onion is no more
Now at last his cryin's over
But all he had is gone
Whatever for
You and I are always chasing
Wild ambitions and far off dreams
As we run in all directions
Nothing's quite the joy it seems
Don't ask how much
And don't ask why
Have no doubt and ask no questions
Just believe it's not a lie
Never take my love for granted
But never put it to the test
Like the monkey and his onion
Too much investigation
You know the rest
You and I are always chasing
Wild ambitions and far off dreams
As we run in all directions
Nothing's quite the joy it seems
On that we could be contented
With the good things that we've gained
But in the end we're empty handed
Just because we need the world explained

10cc The Monkey And The Onion Comments
Yeah,heartbreaking that only 5,588 views...but that's 5,588 hardcore music lovers! One of the finest 10cc songs in the entire catalog....actually my favorite.
Really like this song. Whose singing? Graham? Beautifully done.
Yes it is Graham Gouldman providing the vocals.
Thanks for the info. :)
Thanks for the reply. Grahams vocals never sounded so sweet. What an amazing talent. I heard he was the fly the ointment that prevented a recent 10cc reunion. If true, I can understand him wanting to keep his current band employed. With their families, that's a lot of mouths to feed. I also heard the original band doesn't get along too well. I always thought they were one of the best bands in the 70s. What a pool of genius. 10cc should be listened to with headphones to get all the great detail of the carefully made recordings.
amazing. whole record is great btw, too.
Maybe I should send this to Cindi. Love this song and her...
One comment? How sad. Such an amazing song.
Love this <3 !
