Sean Cullen - the chimp and the woman There was an old woman who lived alone No one called her on the telephone (Eb/D) She went into the woods one day Found a young chimp, who had gone astray She took that little primate home So she wouldn’t have to be alone They spent the winter together Warm in their love, despite the harshness of the winter weather The chimp and the woman Living together in a house of stone The chimp and the woman They made that house a home The chimp and the woman were happy there The chimp was safe; the woman had found a friend But when the townsfolk heard of this bizarre affair They said how could she love a creature that is covered with hair? They came with axes and torches They burnt the front and back porches They kicked in the door Shouting "Death to the chimp-loving whore!" But she was gone; no one knew where they went Years went by, the world spun around Then one day a strange creature walked into town It came in from the wild It was a half human half chimp hybrid child And it said: I am the chimpy child, on whom fortune has smiled If we could live in peace, then all hatred would cease If we could live with love, with blessings from up above If we could just hold hands, then maybe we’d understand And the people, the people... They beat him to death with a rock.
